In this first English publication of a well-known and widely
respected Italian scholar, readers will encounter the preeminent
interpreter of the works of Maurice Merleau-Ponty engaged in a
dialogue of critical concern to contemporary philosophy. In subtle
and sensitive language eminently suited to the style and substance
of Merleau-Ponty's own writings, Mauro Carbone fashions four essays
around a central theme-the relations of the sensible and the
intelligible, and of philosophy and non-philosophy-that occupied
Merleau-Ponty in his later work.
An original and innovative interpretation of the ontology of
Merleau-Ponty--and themselves a significant contribution to the
field of Continental thought--these essays constitute a sustained
exploration of what Merleau-Ponty detected, and greeted, as a
"mutation within the relations of man and Being," which would
provide him with the basis for a new idea of philosophy or
"a-philosophy." In lucid, often elegant terms, Carbone analyzes key
elements of Merleau-Ponty's thought in relation to Proust's
Recherche, Hegel's "Phenomenology of Spirit," the new biology of
Von Uexkull, Rimbaud's "Lettre du voyant," and Heidegger's
conception of "letting-be." His work clearly demonstrates the
vitality of Merleau-Ponty's late revolutionary philosophy by
following its most salient, previously unexplored paths. This is
essential reading for any scholar with an interest in
Merleau-Ponty, in the questions of embodiment, temporality and
Nature, or in the possibility of philosophy today.
