{"product_id":"9780823275694","title":"Resistance of the Sensible World: An Introduction to Merleau-Ponty","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt would be unfair to blame a philosophy whose development was brutally interrupted for not being conclusive. But while this openness incited many readers toward other fertile horizons, the oeuvre is hardly ever studied for itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Emmanuel Alloa offers a handrail for venturing into the complexities of the work of the French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908–1961). Through a comprehensive analysis of the three main phases of his thinking and a thorough knowledge of Merleau-Ponty’s many unpublished manuscripts, he traces how Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy evolved and exposes the remarkable coherence that structures it from within.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile stressing two turns Merleau-Ponty’s thought underwent—a linguistic turn after 1945 and an ontological turn in the late 1950s, Alloa teases out the continuity of a motive that traverses the entire oeuvre as a common thread. Merleau-Ponty struggled incessantly against any kind of ideology of transparency, whether of the world, the self, of knowledge, or of the self’s relation to others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlloa’s innovative reading of this crucially important thinker not only offers a new look at Merleau-Ponty but also shows why the issues he raised are more than ever those of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081341550832,"sku":"9780823275694","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780823275694_p0.jpg?v=1769910640","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780823275694","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
