The Merleau-Ponty Aesthetics Reader : Philosophy and Painting, Paperback / softback Book

The Merleau-Ponty Aesthetics Reader : Philosophy and Painting Paperback / softback

Edited by Michael B. Smith

Part of the Studies in Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy series

Paperback / softback

Description

Merleau-Ponty's essays on aesthetics are some of the major accomplishments of his philosophical career, and rank even today among the most sophisticated reflections on art in all of twentieth-century philosophy.

His essays on painting, "Cezanne's Doubt" (1945), "Indirect Language and the Voices of Silence" (1952), and "Eye and Mind" (1960), have inspired new approaches to epistemology, ontology, and the philosophy of history.

Galen A. Johnson has gathered these essays for the first time into a single volume and augmented them with essays by distinguished scholars and artists, including M.C.

Dillon, Mikel Dufrenne, and René Magritte. Together the essays demonstrate the continuing significance of Merleau-Ponty's ideas about art for contemporary philosophy on both sides of the Atlantic.
