Sinopsis

This book offers a critical re-appraisal of what is perhaps Merleau-PontyâÇÖs most widely read text, the Preface to his Phenomenology of Perception. Although open and enigmatic text, the Preface is still often used to introduce phenomenology in general and Merleau-PontyâÇÖs work specifically to students, scholars in disciplines other than philosophy, and art practitioners. Taking advantage of the fact that many of his course notes have been posthumously published in the last few decades, this book situates the Preface to the Phenomenology of Perceptionáin the context of Merleau-PontyâÇÖs later work and shows how áit contains many of the threads on which Merleau-Ponty would later pull. In doing so, the book chapters elaborate key themesáin the Preface: 'Phenomenology and its Paradoxes,' 'Phenomenology and its Method,' 'Phenomenology and its Incompletion,' 'Phenomenology and Non-Phenomenology.' Readers will learn about the radicality of Merleau-PontyâÇÖs early articulation of phenomenology, how much it already suggests the profound transformation of phenomenology usually associated with his more mature work.á
