The Logos of the Sensible World: Merleau-Ponty's Phenomenological Philosophy (The Collected Writings of John Sallis Book 3) Kindle Edition
Devoted primarily to a close reading of the French philosopher’s magnum opus, Phenomenology of Perception, this course begins with a detailed analysis of The Structure of Behavior. The central topics considered in the lectures include the functions of the phenomenological body; beyond realism and idealism; the structures of the lived world; spatiality, temporality, language, sexuality; and perception and knowledge. Sallis illuminates Merleau-Ponty’s first two works and offers a thread to follow through developments in his later essays. Merleau-Ponty’s notion of the primacy of perception and his claim that “the end of a philosophy is the account of its beginning” are woven throughout the lectures. For Sallis’s part, these lectures are foundational for his extended engagement with Merleau-Ponty’s The Visible and the Invisible, which was published in Sallis’s Phenomenology and the Return to Beginnings.
“Sallis has managed to write a review that is accessible and makes only modest demands on the reader. This is an ideal resource for nonspecialists and for those who want a straightforward, relatively brief treatment of Merleau-Ponty’s important book . . . Highly recommended.” —Choice
