The Visible and the Invisible, Paperback
Descriere
Contributor(s):Author: Maurice Merleau-Ponty Translator: Alphonso Lingis The Visible and the Invisible contains the unfinished manuscript and working notes of the book Merleau-Ponty was writing when he died. The text is devoted to a critical examination of Kantian, Husserlian, Bergsonian, and Sartrean method, followed by the extraordinary ""The Intertwining--The Chiasm,"" that reveals the central pattern of Merleau-Ponty's own thought. The working notes for the book provide the reader with a truly exciting insight into the mind of the philosopher at work as he refines and develops new pivotal concepts.
Despre autor
Maurice-Jean-Jacques Merleau-Ponty a fost un filozof francez, reprezentant de prim rang al fenomenologiei, influențat în mare măsură de lucrările lui Edmund Husserl. Datorită legăturilor sale strânse într-o anumită perioadă cu Jean-Paul Sartre și cu Simone de Beauvoir este adesea socotit în mod eronat ca exponent al existențialismului.
