Book, Visible and the Invisible, O[LS]

Merleau-Ponty was, alongside Sartre, the most representative figure of French philosophical thought after the Second World War, and became famous for one of its best-known manifestations: existentialism. Here, he seeks to persuade the reader that the fundamental concepts of philosophy - subject and object, fact and essence, being and nothing, consciousness, image, thing, word - are already a singular interpretation of the world. One of the most notable and complete texts of contemporary philosophical inquiry.
