In this introduction to the life and thought of one of the most
important French thinkers of the twentieth-century Eric Matthews
shows how Merleau-Ponty has contributed to current debates in
philosophy, such as the nature of consciousness, the relation
between biology and personality, the historical understanding of
human thought and society, and many others. Surveying the whole
range of Merleau-Ponty's thinking, the author examines his views
about the nature of phenomenology and the primacy of perception;
his account of human embodiment, being-in-the-world, and his
understanding of human behaviour; his conception of the self and
its relation to other selves; and, his views on society, politics,
and the arts. A final chapter considers his later thought,
published posthumously. The ideas of Merleau-Ponty are shown to be
of immense importance to the development of French philosophy and
the author evaluates his distinctive contributions and relates his
thought to that of his predecessors, contemporaries and successors,
both in France and elsewhere. This unrivalled introduction will be
welcomed by philosophers and cognitive scientists as well as
students taking courses in contemporary continental philosophy.
