This book corrects that balance by turning to Merleau-Ponty's extensive engagement with literature. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom Proust, Merleau-Ponty developed his conception of \"sensible ideas,\" from Claudel, his conjoining of birth and knowledge as \"co-naissance,\" from Valéry came \"implex\" or the \"animal of words\" and the \"chiasma of two destinies.\" Literature also provokes the questions of expression, metaphor, and truth and the meaning of a Merleau-Pontian poetics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe poetic of Merleau-Ponty is, the book argues, a poetic of the flesh, a poetic of mystery, and a poetic of the visible in its relation to the invisible. Ultimately, theoretical figures or \"figuratives\" that appear at the threshold between philosophy and literature enable the possibility of a new ontology. What is at stake is the very meaning of philosophy itself and its mode of expression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Galen A.
