Merleau-Ponty has long been known as one of the most important
philosophers of aesthetics, yet most discussions of his aesthetics
focus on visual art. This book corrects that balance by turning to
Merleau-Ponty's extensive engagement with literature. From Proust,
Merleau-Ponty developed his conception of "sensible ideas," from
Claudel, his conjoining of birth and knowledge as "co-naissance,"
from Valery came "implex" or the "animal of words" and the "chiasma
of two destinies." Literature also provokes the questions of
expression, metaphor, and truth and the meaning of a
Merleau-Pontian poetics. The poetic of Merleau-Ponty is, the book
argues, a poetic of the flesh, a poetic of mystery, and a poetic of
the visible in its relation to the invisible. Ultimately,
theoretical figures or "figuratives" that appear at the threshold
between philosophy and literature enable the possibility of a new
ontology. What is at stake is the very meaning of philosophy itself
and its mode of expression.
