<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>1. John Sallis is one of the most important philosophical voices working in Continental traditions in our time. He has his own following of readers.</p> <p>2. This is the next book in his collected writings series.</p> <p>3. Sallis's lectures in this book focus on the writings of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, a French phenomenological philosopher, strongly influenced by Karl Marx, Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger. He was the only major phenomenologist of the first half of the twentieth century to engage extensively with the sciences and especially with descriptive psychology.</p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This volume of the collected writings of John Sallis presents a two-semester lecture course on Maurice Merleau-Ponty given at Duquesne University from 1970 to 1971. Devoted primarily to a close reading of the French philosopher's magnum opus, <i>Phenomenology of Perception</i>, the course begins with a detailed analysis of <i>The Structure of Behavior</i>. The central topics considered in the lectures include the functions of the phenomenological body; beyond realism and idealism; the structures of the lived world; spatiality, temporality, language, sexuality; and perception and knowledge. Sallis illuminates Merleau-Ponty's first two works and offers a thread to follow through developments in his later essays. Merleau-Ponty's notion of the primacy of perception and his claim that the end of a philosophy is the account of its beginning are woven throughout the lectures. For Sallis's part, these lectures are foundational for his extended engagement with Merleau-Ponty's <i>The Visible and the Invisible</i>, which was published in Sallis's <i>Phenomenology and the Return to Beginnings</i>. </p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Sallis has managed to write a review that is accessible and makes only modest demands on the reader. This is an ideal resource for nonspecialists and for those who want a straightforward, relatively brief treatment of Merleau-Ponty's important book. . . . Highly recommended.</p>-- "Choice"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>John Sallis is Frederick J. Adelmann Professor of Philosophy at Boston College.
