In his study, Stephen Priest engages Merleau-Ponty across the full range of his thought. He considers Merleau-Ponty's writings on the problems of the body, perception, space, time, subjectivity, freedom, language, other minds, physical objects, art and being. Priest uses clear and direct language to explain the thoughts of and the ensuing importance of Merleau-Ponty.
