The last two courses remain incomplete due to Merleau-Ponty's unexpected death on May 3, 1961. Nonetheless, they provide indications of the new ontology that informed \u003ci\u003eThe Visible and the Invisible\u003c\/i\u003e, a posthumously published work that was under way at the same time. These courses offer readers of Merleau-Ponty's late thought a wealth of references--to painting, literature, and psychoanalysis, and to the works of Husserl, Heidegger, Descartes, Hegel, and Marx--that fill in some of the missing pieces of \u003ci\u003eThe Visible and the Invisible\u003c\/i\u003e, especially its often terse and sometimes cryptic working notes. We see more clearly how Merleau-Ponty's attempt to bring forth a new ontology indicates a fundamental revision in what it means to think, an attempt to reimagine the possibility of philosophy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maurice Merleau-Ponty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810144549\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810144545\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 01\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2022","brand":"Maurice Merleau-Ponty","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43988510867711,"sku":"9780810144545","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b28a19c2-5020-4c0d-adea-947ec2fd2206.jpg?v=1683294873","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-possibility-of-philosophy-maurice-merleau-ponty-9780810144545","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
