Summary note
"Few writers' unfinished works are considered among their most important, but such is the case with Maurice Merleau-Ponty's The Visible and the Invisible. What exists of it is a mere beginning, published posthumously, yet it bridged modernism and postmodernism in philosophy." "Merleau-Ponty is among the best of the "first generation" of French phenomenologists. His untimely death in 1961 left The Visible and the Invisible in a fragmentary state that exacerbates the text's difficulty and complexity. Low uses material from some of Merleau-Ponty's later works -- specifically, essays from 1952 onward and published lecture summaries from the College de France -- to provide the basis for completion. Working from this material and an outline of the book left by Merleau-Ponty, Low has written an account of how The Visible and the Invisible would have looked had Merleau-Ponty lived to complete it." "Low shows a thorough mastery of the material and clarifies many difficult issues. Rather than presenting an argument, he offers an integration and extrapolation that go far beyond mere summary of the material: this distinguished scholar provides commentary on a work that was never finished, on various texts that were never published together, and on some that were never intended for publication. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
