Reviews

Excellent ... I have yet to read such a good introduction to Merleau-Ponty's philosophy. Mind covers the whole range of Merleau-Ponty's writing, and presents his thinking sympathetically but in a relatively jargon-free manner ... this is a very worthwhile addition to the philosophical literature on Merleau-Ponty. Journal of the British Society for Phenomenology A straightforward introduction, amongst the best of its kind: clear, systematic, accurate and with useful suggestions on how Merleau-Ponty might be compared with other thinkers with whom readers may be more familiar. - Jonathan Ree clearly written and avoids the jargon that often characterises the discussion of phenomenological philosophy. It covers the full range of Merleau-Ponty's thought and shows a thorough understanding of continental philosophy in the latter half of the twentieth century. It should be required reading for anyone interested in French philosophy. - David Stewart, Ohio University
