Maurice Merleau-Ponty is widely recognized as one of the major figures of twentieth-century philosophy.
Covering a diverse range of topics, including ontology, epistemology, anthropology, embodiment, animality, politics, language, aesthetics, and art, the editors gather representative voices from North America and Europe, including both Merleau-Ponty specialists and thinkers who have come to the philosopher\'s work through their own thematic interest..
With the benefit of this fuller picture of his thought, Merleau-Ponty and Contemporary Philosophy undertakes an assessment of the philosopher\'s relevance for Contemporary thinking.
These works confirm that, with a surprising premonition, Merleau-Ponty addressed many of the issues that concern Philosophy today.
The recent publication of his lecture courses and posthumous working notes has opened new avenues for both the interpretation of his thought and Philosophy in general.
