This is a new monograph exploring the theoretical status of
Merleau-Ponty's contributions to epistemology and rationality in
his account of phenomenology.Maurice Merleau-Ponty is widely known
for his emphasis on embodied perceptual experience. This emphasis
initially relied heavily on the positive results of Gestalt
psychology in addressing issues in philosophical psychology and
philosophy of mind from a phenomenological standpoint. Eventually
he transformed this account in light of his investigations in
linguistics, aesthetics, and the philosophy of history and
institutions. Far less work has been done in addressing his
evolving conception of philosophy and how this account influenced
more general philosophical issues in epistemology, accounts of
rationality, or its status as theoretical discourse.Merleau-Ponty's
own contributions to these issues and, in particular, the
theoretical status of the phenomenological account that resulted,
have provoked varying responses. On the one hand, some commentators
have understood his work to be a regional application of Husserl's
foundational account of phenomenology. On the other hand, some
commentators have questioned whether, in the final analysis,
Merleau-Ponty was a phenomenologist at all.In "In the Shadow of
Phenomenology", Stephen H. Watson offers an in depth analysis of
these responses and the complications and development of
Merleau-Ponty's position.
