He was responsible for bringing the phenomenological methods of the German philosophers - Husserl and Heidegger - to France and instigated a new wave of interest in this approach. His influence extended well beyond the boundaries of philosophy and can be seen in theories of politics, psychology, art and language.\u003cbr\u003eThis is the first volume to bring together a comprehensive selection of Merleau-Ponty's writing. \u003cbr\u003eSections from the following are included:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Primacy of Perception\u003cbr\u003eThe Structure of Behaviour\u003cbr\u003eThe Phenomenology of Perception\u003cbr\u003eThe Prose of the World\u003cbr\u003eThe Visible and the Invisible\u003cbr\u003eSense and Non-Sense\u003cbr\u003eThe Adventures of the Dialectic\u003c\/em\u003eIn a substantial critical introduction Thomas Baldwin provides a critical discussion of the main themes of Merleau-Ponty's philosophy, connecting it to subsequent philosophical debates and setting it in the context of the ideas of Bergson, Husserl, Heidegger and Sartre.
