The term 'phenomenology' has become almost as over-used and emptied
of meaning as that other word from Continental Philosophy, namely
'existentialism'. Yet Husserl, who first put forward the
phenomenological method, considered it a rigorous alternative to
positivism, and in the hands of Merleau-Ponty, a disciple of
Husserl in France, phenomenology became a way of gaining a
disciplined and coherent perspective on the world in which we live.
When this study originally published in 1977 there were only a few
books in English on Merleau-Ponty's philosophy. It introduced the
reader and suggested how his thought might throw light on some of
the assumptions and presuppositions of certain contemporary forms
of Anglo-Saxon philosophy and social science. It also demonstrates
how phenomenology seeks to unite philosophy and social science,
rather than define them as mutually exclusive domains of knowledge.
