Opis

Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908-61) is one of the most important French thinkers of the 20th century. His account of being-in-the-world is relevant to our contemporary discussions of such issues as the nature of consciousness, the relation between biology and human personality, the historical understanding of human thought and society, and many others. Eric Matthews provides a comprehensive account of Merleau-Ponty's thought and shows how his ideas and arguments contribute to current debates in philosophy.
