Perception, Expression, And History: The Social Phenomenology Of Maurice Merleau-ponty (studies In Phenomenology And Existential Philosophy)

In this commentary, John O'Neill concentrates upon three themes in the goal Merleau-Ponty set for himself, namely "to restore to things their concrete physiognomy, to organisms their individual ways of dealing with the world, and to subjectivity its inherence in history." O'Neill considers the three objectives in their original first, the study of animal and human psychology; then, the phenomenology of perception; and finally, certain extensions of these perspectives in the historical and social sciences. The Structures Of Behavior -- The Phenomenology Of Perception -- Phenomenology In The Natural Attitude -- Corporeality And Intersubjectivity -- Institution, Language, And Historicity -- Between Montaigne And Machiavelli.
