Time, Memory, Institution - Merleau-Ponty's New Ontology of Self

This is the first investigation of the relation between time and memory in Maurice Merleau-Ponty's thought as a whole and the first to explore in depth the significance of his concept of institution. It brings his views on the self and ontology into contemporary focus, arguing that the self is not a self-contained or self-determining identity.
