Reviews

"""...an immensely important contribution ... Nature and Logos is an exemplary work of scholarship ... Hamrick and Van der Veken present an exciting, creative, and relevant contribution to the ongoing task of experiencing and conceptualizing the profundity of the world."" - Worldviews ""Nature and Logos is one of the most important works on Merleau-Ponty's philosophy to appear recently. The authors' erudition and painstaking scholarship inform their original perspective. This is an indispensable work, a tour-de-force offering another important piece to the puzzle of understanding the sometimes enigmatic later work of Merleau-Ponty."" - Duane H. Davis, editor of Merleau-Ponty's Later Works and Their Practical Implications: The Dehiscence of Responsibility ""This represents a definite advance in philosophical scholarship. The book adds to our interest and understanding of Merleau-Ponty and Whitehead."" - Robert Daud, Pasadena City College"
