Description
Speech is a way of tearing out a meaning from an undivided whole."Thus does Maurice Merleau-Ponty describe speech in this collection of his important writings on the philosophy of expression, composed during the last decade of his life.
For him, expression is a category of human behavior and existence much broader than language alone.
He maintains that man is essentially expressive, even prior to speaking: in his silence, gestures, and lived behavior.
