G.E. Moore, more than either Bertrand Russell or Ludwig
Wittgenstein, was chiefly responsible for the rise of the analytic
method in twentieth-century philosophy. This selection of his
writings shows Moore at his very best. The classic essays are
crucial to major philosophical debates that still resonate today.
Amongst those included are: * A Defense of Common Sense * Certainty
* Sense-Data * External and Internal Relations * Hume's Theory
Explained * Is Existence a Predicate? * Proof of an External World
In addition, this collection also contains the key early papers in
which Moore signals his break with idealism, and three important
previously unpublished papers from his later work which illustrate
his relationship with Wittgenstein.
This book explores the work of spectres in Denis Diderot's Salons,
Marcel Proust's A la recherche du temps perdu, and Gilles Deleuze's
Francis Bacon, logique de la sensation. It examines the extent to
which Diderot, Proust and Deleuze are able to resist the 'Marcellus
complex'.
First Published in 1999. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
This book describes the development of Proust's treatment of
material objects from his earliest work

Merleau-Ponty was a pivotal figure in twentieth century French philosophy. He was responsible for bringing the phenomenological methods of the German philosophers - Husserl and Heidegger - to France and instigated a new wave of interest in this approach. His influence extended well beyond the boundaries of philosophy and can be seen in theories of politics, psychology, art and language. This is the first volume to bring together a comprehensive selection of Merleau-Ponty's writing. Sections from the following are included: The Primacy of Perception The Structure of Behaviour The Phenomenology of Perception The Prose of the World The Visible and the Invisible Sense and Non-Sense The Adventures of the Dialectic In a substantial critical introduction Thomas Baldwin provides a critical discussion of the main themes of Merleau-Ponty's philosophy, connecting it to subsequent philosophical debates and setting it in the context of the ideas of Bergson, Husserl, Heidegger and Sartre. Each text is also prefaced with an explanation which sets it in its context in Merleau-Ponty's work; and there are extensive suggestions for further reading to enable students to pursue the issues raised by Merleau-Ponty. Thus the book provides the ideal materials for students studying Merleau-Ponty for the first time.

"Painting does not imitate the world, but is a world of its own."
In 1948, Maurice Merleau-Ponty wrote and delivered on French radio
a series of seven lectures on the theme of perception. Translated
here into English for the first time, they offer a lucid and
concise insight into one of the great philosophical minds of the
twentieth-century.
The lectures explore themes central not only to Merleau-Ponty's
philosophy but to phenomenology as a whole. He begins by rejecting
the idea - inherited from Descartes and influential within science
- that perception is unreliable, prone to distort the world around
us. Merleau-Ponty instead argues that perception is inseparable
from our senses and it is how we make sense of the world.
Merleau-Ponty explores this guiding theme through a brilliant
series of reflections on science, space, our relationships with
others, animal life and art. Throughout, he argues that perception
is never something learned and then applied to the world.
Ascreatures with embodied minds, he reminds us that we are born
perceiving and share with other animals and infants a state of
constant, raw, unpredictable contact with the world. He provides
vivid examples with the help of Kafka, animal behavior and above
all modern art, particularly the work of Cezanne.
A thought-provoking and crystalline exploration of consciousness
and the senses, "The World of" "Perception" is essential reading
for anyone interested in the work of Merleau-Ponty,
twentieth-century philosophy and art.
'In simple prose Merleau-Ponty touches on his principle themes.
He speaks about the body and the world, the coexistence of space
and things, the unfortunate optimism of science and also the
insidious stickiness of honey, and the mystery of anger.' - James
Elkins
Maurice Merleau-Ponty was one of the most important thinkers of
the post-war era. Central to his thought was the idea that human
understanding comes from our bodily experience of the world that we
perceive: a deceptively simple argument, perhaps, but one that he
felt had to be made in the wake of attacks from contemporary
science and the philosophy of Descartes on the reliability of human
perception.
From this starting point, Merleau-Ponty presented these seven
lectures on The World of Perception to French radio listeners in
1948. Available in a paperback English translation for the first
time in the Routledge Classics series to mark the centenary of
Merleau-Ponty 's birth, this is a dazzling and accessible guide to
a whole universe of experience, from the pursuit of scientific
knowledge, through the psychic life of animals to the glories of
the art of Paul C zanne.
