Merleau-Ponty was described by Paul Ricoeur as 'the greatest of the French phenomenologists'. The essays in this volume examine the full scope of his philosophy, from his abiding concern with the nature of perception and the bodily constitution of intentionality to his reflections on science, nature, art, history, and politics.
