Description

Having initially not had the attention of Sartre or Heidegger, Merleau-
Ponty's work is arguably now more widely influential than either of his two
contemporaries. "Merleau-Ponty: Key Concepts" presents an accessible guide
to the core ideas which structure Merleau-Ponty's thinking as well as to
his influences and the value of his ideas to a wide range of disciplines.
The first section of the book presents the context of Merleau-Ponty's
thinking, the major debates of his time, particularly existentialism,
phenomenology, the history of philosophy and the philosophy of history and
society. The second section outlines his major contributions and conceptual
innovations. The final section focuses upon how his work has been taken up
in other fields besides philosophy, notably in sociology, cognitive
science, health studies, feminism and race theory.
