Merleau-Ponty in contemporary perspective: this was the theme of
the conference at the Institute of Philosophy, Katholieke
Universiteit Leuven (K. U. L. ) from 29 November to 1 December
1991. Thirty years after Merleau Ponty's untimely death, it seemed
appropriate to bring together scholars from Europe and from the
United States of America to reappraise his philosophy. In fact, a
significant body of scholarship has emerged which would seem to
attest to the continuing importance of his thought for a variety of
disciplines within the humanities, the social sciences, and the
philosophy of nature. In the present volume, Gary Brent Madison
addresses the issue whether Merleau-Ponty can be considered to be a
classical philosopher. The fact that his work is one of the
highlights of the phenomenological tradition and is of continuing
inspiration for researchers in various domains seems to justify
that claim. Yet, it is the feeling of many of the contributors to
this volume that the so-called "second Merleau-Ponty" is still not
really known. The unfinished state of The Visible and the Invisible
and the cryptic condition of many of the "Working Notes" may be
responsible for that. More research should be done, to uncover "the
unsaid" of Merleau-Ponty. lowe to a remark of Paul Ricoeur in his
introduction to the work of G. B. Madison, La Phenomenologie de
Merleau-Ponty. Une recherche des limites de la conscience (Paris,
Klincksieck, 1973, p."
