The Possibility of Philosophy presents the notes that Maurice
Merleau-Ponty prepared for three courses he taught at the CollEge
de France: "The Possibility of Philosophy Today," given in the
spring semester of 1959; and "Cartesian Ontology and Ontology
Today" and "Philosophy and Nonphilosophy since Hegel," both given
in the spring semester of 1961. The last two courses remain
incomplete due to Merleau-Ponty's unexpected death on May 3, 1961.
Nonetheless, they provide indications of the new ontology that
informed The Visible and the Invisible, a posthumously published
work that was under way at the same time. These courses offer
readers of Merleau-Ponty's late thought a wealth of references-to
painting, literature, and psychoanalysis, and to the works of
Husserl, Heidegger, Descartes, Hegel, and Marx-that fill in some of
the missing pieces of The Visible and the Invisible, especially its
often terse and sometimes cryptic working notes. We see more
clearly how Merleau-Ponty's attempt to bring forth a new ontology
indicates a fundamental revision in what it means to think, an
attempt to reimagine the possibility of philosophy.
