The Primacy of Perception by M Merleau-Ponty

Brings together a number of important studies by Maurice Merleau-Ponty that appeared in various publications from 1947 to 1961. Taken together, the studies in this volume provide a systematic introduction to the major themes of Merleau-Ponty's philosophy.
The Primacy of Perception.. ranges all the way from questions of epistemology, methodology, and phenomenological psychology to matters of art, history, and politics." - Philosophy and Phenomenological Research
Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908-1961) was a French phenomenological philosopher, strongly influenced by Karl Marx, Edmund Husserl, and Martin Heidegger in addition to being closely associated with Jean-Paul Sartre (who later stated he had been "converted" to Marxism by Merleau-Ponty ) and Simone de Beauvoir. At the core of Merleau-Ponty's philosophy is a sustained argument for the foundational role that perception plays in understanding the world as well as engaging with the world. Like the other major phenomenologists, Merleau-Ponty expressed his philosophical insights in writings on art, literature, linguistics, and politics.
