Merleau-Ponty: A Guide for the Perplexed

Maurice Merleau-Ponty was one of the most important figures in the existential and phenomenological traditions in twentieth-century Continental philosophy. Merleau-Ponty: A Guide for the Perplexed is the ideal text for students encountering Merleau-Ponty''s philosophy for the first time. The book assumes no prior knowledge of the subject, and takes the reader though the key themes in Merleau-Ponty''s work, casting light on complex ideas, including - crucially - his interpretations of ''perception'', ''embodiment'' and ''behaviour''. Most importantly this Guide for the Perplexed offers a full and authoritative explication of Merleau-Ponty''s phenomenological account of human behaviour.
