Trade Review
"This challenging yet engaging work is part and parcel of a vanguard of creative new scholarship that carries forward Merleau-Ponty's late thought so as to address contemporary philosophical concerns. What specifically it challenges is the 'ideology of transparency' that informs the Western understanding of embodiment, perception, language, and art. The book opens up new perspectives for a phenomenological ontology of 'transphenomenality' and 'co-belonging.'" -- -Veronique Foti Pennsylvania State University "Resistance of the Sensible World is a work of substance and erudition that focuses on Merleau-Ponty's central themes of perception, language, and ontology. It is a welcome addition to the growing body of new scholarship on this enduringly pertinent phenomenologist." -- -Richard M. Shusterman author of Body Consciousness: A Philosophy of Mindfulness and Somaesthetics
