Feminist Interpretations of Maurice Merleau-Ponty by Dorothea Olkowski
Simone de Beauvoir identified the importance of Maurice Merleau-Ponty's writings to feminist theory. But there has been little agreement on how Merleau-Ponty's ideas ultimately have an impact on feminist philosophy. The essays presented here attempt to situate Merleau-Ponty in the larger context of feminist theory.“This work is an important addition for specialists, but not geared to undergraduates”
—A. B. Curry Choice
“Through many original and a few reprinted pieces, this collection demonstrates that there still remains much to explore and develop with and against Merleau-Ponty’s corpus. Feminist Interpretations of Merleau-Ponty definitely provides much to think about and demonstrates, as Weiss writes, ‘new ways of doing philosophy.’”
—Emily S. Lee APA Newsletter
“Exhibiting well the scope and diversity of feminist readings of Merleau-Ponty, the volume is an important contribution that will be of interest to theorists in many fields, while at the same time encouraging further specialized work in the area—something that may well benefit feminist philosophy, but will certainly enrich Merleau-Ponty studies.”
—Bryan Smyth Philosophy in Review
“This is both a necessary book and a very good one. That this volume is not the perfect feminist source on Merleau-Ponty is not a negative judgment, given that it is currently the best to be found.”
—Nancy J. Holland Dialogue
