Summary

Interest in the work of Merleau-Ponty continues to grow. 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 that structure Merleau-Ponty's thinking as well as to his influences and the value of his ideas to a wide range of disciplines.
