Art, Language and Figure in Merleau-Ponty: Excursions in
Hyper-Dialectic considers Merleau-Ponty's later ontology of
language in the light of his "figured philosophy," which places the
work of art at the centre of its investigation. Kaushik argues
that, since for Merleau-Ponty the work of art actualizes a sensible
ontology that would otherwise be invisible to the history of
dialectics, it undermines the fundamental difference between being
and linguistic structures. Art, Language and Figure in
Merleau-Ponty takes up the radical task of the figured philosophy
to render sensible and linguistic spaces prior to the thought of
their separation. Kaushik situates Merleau-Ponty's criticisms of
Saussure's linguistic system, as well as a more general repudiation
of the act of inscribing in favour of an abstracted textual
meaning, in this context. Following the artists most important to
Merleau-Ponty's own writings on art, such as Paul Klee and his
fascination with hieroglyphics, and extending these analyses to
more recent 21st Century artists such as Cy Twombly, Kaushik takes
an excursion into the places where art and language, image and
text, drawing and writing, figure and discourse, are interlaced in
Merleau-Ponty's last ontology. In view of these intersections,
Kaushik ultimately argues, the work of art gives us the spaces
where the possibilities of philosophy, both past and future,
reside. As the first sustained treatment into the relationship
between art and language, this is an important contribution to
Meleau-Ponty's philosophy and scholars of aesthetics.
