Summary

Institution and Passivity is based on course notes for classes Merleau-Ponty taught at the Collge de France. Philosophically, this collection connects the issue of passive constitution of meaning with the dimension of history, furthering discussions and completing arguments started in The Visible and the Invisible and Signs, both published by Northwestern. Leonard Lawlor and Heath Massey's translation makes available in English a critical transitional text in the development of Merleau-Ponty's later thought and in the history of phenomenology.

Author Biography

Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908-1961), along with Sartre, introduced phenomenology to France. He held the Chair of Child Psychology and Pedagogy at the University of the Sorbonne, which was later held by Jean Piaget. He was elected to the Collge de France in 1952, holding the Chair of Philosophy. Leonard Lawlor is Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Philosophy at Pennsylvania State University. He previously translated Merleau-Ponty's Husserl at the Limits of Phenomenology for Northwestern. Heath Massey is an assistant professor of philosophy at Beloit College.
