Between present and past, visible and invisible, and sensation and
idea, there is resonance - so philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty
argued and so Jessica Wiskus explores in The Rhythm of Thought.
Holding the poetry of Stephane Mallarme, the paintings of Paul
Cezanne, the prose of Marcel Proust, and the music of Claude
Debussy under Merleau-Ponty's phenomenological light, she offers
innovative interpretations of some of these artists' master-works,
in turn articulating a new perspective on Merleau-Ponty's
philosophy. More than merely recovering Merleau-Ponty's thought,
Wiskus thinks according to it. First examining these artists in
relation to noncoincidence - as silence in poetry, depth in
painting, memory in literature, and rhythm in music - she moves
through an array of their artworks toward some of Merleau-Ponty's
most exciting themes: our bodily relationship to the world and the
dynamic process of expression. She closes with an examination of
synesthesia as an intertwining of internal and external realms and
a call, finally, for philosophical inquiry as a mode of artistic
expression. Structured like a piece of music itself, The Rhythm of
Thought offers exhilarating new contexts in which to approach art,
philosophy, and the resonance between them.
