He then presents innovative studies of Merleau-Ponty's \u003ci\u003eThe Structure of Behavior and Phenomenology of Perception\u003c\/i\u003e, revealing how these early works are oriented by the problem of sense and already lead to difficulties about nature, temporality, and ontology that preoccupy Merleau-Ponty's later work. Morris shows how resolving these difficulties requires seeking sense through its appearance in nature, prior to experience-ultimately leading to radically new concepts of nature, time, and philosophy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eMerleau-Ponty's Developmental Ontology\u003c\/i\u003e makes key issues in Merleau-Ponty's philosophy clear and accessible to a broad audience while also advancing original philosophical conclusions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Morris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810137925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810137929\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2019","brand":"David Morris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990383788287,"sku":"9780810137929","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_78c2ce26-010b-44f4-9500-36eadfc5221b.jpg?v=1683304363","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/merleau-pontys-developmental-ontology-david-morris-9780810137929","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
