The Sensible World and the World of Expression was a course of
lectures that Merleau-Ponty gave at the College de France after his
election to the chair of philosophy in 1952. The publication and
translation of Merleau-Ponty's notes from this course provide an
exceptional view into the evolution of his thought at an important
point in his career. In these notes, we see that Merleau-Ponty's
consideration of the problem of the perception of movement leads
him to make a self-critical return to Phenomenology of Perception
in order to rethink the perceptual encounter with the sensible
world as essentially expressive, and hence to revise his
understanding of the body schema accordingly in terms of praxical
motor possibilities. Sketching out an embodied dialectic of
expressive praxis that would link perception with art, language,
and other cultural and intersubjective phenomena, up to and
including truth, Merleau-Ponty's notes for these lectures thus
afford an exciting glimpse of how he aspired to overcome the
impasse of ontological dualism. Situated midway between
Phenomenology of Perception and The Visible and the Invisible,
these notes mark a juncture of crucial importance with regard to
Merleau-Ponty's later efforts to work out the ontological
underpinnings of phenomenology in terms of a new dialectical
conception of nature and history.
