The first reader to offer a comprehensive view of Maurice
Merleau-Ponty's (1908-1961) work, this selection collects in one
volume the foundational essays necessary for understanding the core
of this critical twentieth-century philosopher's thought. Arranged
chronologically, the essays are grouped in three sections
corresponding to the major periods of Merleau-Ponty's work: First,
the years prior to his appointment to the Sorbonne in 1949, the
early, existentialist period during which he wrote important works
on the phenomenology of perception and the primacy of perception;
second, the years of his work as professor of child psychology and
pedagogy at the Sorbonne, period especially concerned with
language; and finally, his years as chair of modern philosophy at
the College de France, a time devoted to the articulation of a new
ontology and philosophy of nature. The editors, who provide an
interpretive introduction, also include previously unpublished
working notes found in Merleau-Ponty's papers after his death.
Translations of all selections have been updated and several appear
here in English for the first time. By contextualizing
Merleau-Ponty's writings on the philosophy of art and politics
within the overall development of his thought, this volume allows
readers to see both the breadth of his contribution to
twentieth-century philosophy and the convergence of the various
strands of his reflection.
