The editors, who provide an interpretive introduction, also include previously unpublished working notes found in Merleau-Ponty's papers after his death. Translations of all selections have been updated and several appear here in English for the first time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e By contextualizing Merleau-Ponty's writings on the philosophy of art and politics within the overall development of his thought, this volume allows readers to see both the breadth of his contribution to twentieth-century philosophy and the convergence of the various strands of his reflection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leonard Lawlor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810120437\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810120433\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\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.40d","brand":"Leonard Lawlor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043053105407,"sku":"9780810120433","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a4ab2332-bae0-4511-a6b0-85df5a1fbb53.jpg?v=1684964996","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-merleau-ponty-reader-leonard-lawlor-9780810120433","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
