Reviews

...performs the valuable service of pointing Merleau-Ponty scholarship in a more interdisciplinary direction. - CHOICE This is a philosophically interesting and valuable collection. I like its broad range of topics, its interdisciplinary character, and the fact that it made me think about Merleau-Ponty in unexpected and instructive ways. - William S. Hamrick, coeditor of Merleau-Ponty and Environmental Philosophy: Dwelling on the Landscapes of Thought
