Maurice Merleau-Ponty : Between phenomenology and structuralism
This is a study of Maurice Merleau-Ponty's social thought, its often troubled relations with Edmund Husserl's phenomenological philo-sophy, and its equally ambivalent stance toward those approaches in the human sciences which take Ferdinand de Saussure's struc-tural linguistics as their point of departure. It seeks to do justice to one of the more complex and elusive figures in contemporary phi…

Aesthetics and the Embodied Mind: Beyond Art Theory and the Cartesian Mind-Bo…
The project of naturalizing human consciousness/experience has made great technical strides (e.g., in mapping areas of brain activity), but has been hampered in many cases by its uncritical reliance on a dualistic “Cartesian” paradigm (though as some of the authors in the collection point out, assumptions drawn from Plato and from Kant also play a role). The present volume proposes a versio…
