In this pioneering and original study, Wiskus shows how Merleau-Ponty leads philosophy to a creative threshold-the place where thought and music merge.... A captivating experiment in thought and expression. (Richard Kearney, Boston College)

Jessica Wiskus's The Rhythm of Thought takes on an extraordinary journey through the art works and music which inspired Merleau-Ponty's philosophy. Wiskus draws on her expert knowledge of music and painting to comment in illuminating detail on Merleau-Ponty's aesthetic sensibility, a sensibility that informed his overall vision of the world. This is a remarkable, highly original, fascinating, and deeply thoughtful book, a 'must' for anyone who wants to understand one of the greatest thinkers of the twentieth century. --Dermot Moran, University College Dublin
