First sentence: After a period of relatively few publications in either the United States or abroad, scholarship on the philosophy of Maurice Merleau-Ponty is expanding at an extraordinary rate, and in a manner that is provocative and exciting.
Description: "The essays collected here demonstrate the power of Merleau-Ponty's thought for a range of philosophical domains. They show the extent to which his philosophy is far more contemporary than historical in its force and applications. This collection, in its interplay of different voices and philosophical styles, inspires a sensitive rereading of this extraordinary philosopher and an alternative model for philosophical thought and conversation "beyond the divide.""--BOOK JACKET.
