In the conclusion of his Inaugural Address at the College de France Merleau-Ponty, reflecting on the present state of philosophy, says that philosophy limps and that this limping is a virtue. He meant that philosophy has irrevocably lost its foundational stature--its role as the mirror of Nature. In the future it would draw its sustenance by frequenting the arts. In Art, Language and Figure in Merleau-Ponty: Excursions in Hyper-Dialectic, Rajiv Kaushik shows us in detail how Merleau-Ponty in his reflection on painting in his late work moves in this direction. In addition Kaushik gives us a direction in which philosophy in the future might continue this hyper-reflective thinking. -- Bernard Flynn, Adjunct Professor of Philosophy, New School For Social Research, USA This rich, important, and meticulously researched and argued book makes a distinctive and profound contribution to the recent studies that have addressed Merleau-Ponty's late philosophy, and it promises to have lasting significance. -- Veronique Foti, Professor of Philosophy, Pennsylvania State University, USA
