Trade Review
One of our best Merleau-Ponty scholars, Don Landes has written an invaluable book. The Merleau-Ponty Dictionary provides concise definitions and insightful elaborations of virtually all of Merleau-Ponty’s thematic and operative terms. It also provides useful summaries of Merleau-Ponty’s most important books and articles. The Merleau-Ponty Dictionary is essential reading for anyone working on Merleau-Ponty today. -- Leonard Lawlor, Sparks Professor of Philosophy, Penn State University
From the bright undergraduate first-time reader of Merleau-Ponty to the seasoned graduate student and senior scholar, all will find valuable discoveries in this clear, concise, and comprehensive dictionary. Landes has given us a lucid biography, bibliography, and A-Z account of Merleau-Ponty’s philosophical and psychological vocabulary and the vocabulary of phenomenology itself, as well as insightful analyses of Merleau-Ponty's key texts. This handbook will find its place in my Merleau-Ponty seminars. -- Galen Johnson, General Secretary of the International Merleau-Ponty Circle and Professor and Chair of Philosophy, University of Rhode Island, USA
A richly enabling resource. The Merleau-Ponty Dictionary offers a chronology of Merleau-Ponty’s life and works, synopses of his texts, and entries on key concepts, technical terms and historical influences. Pithy, insightful and nuanced, the entries in the dictionary provide an intelligent orientation to Merleau-Ponty’s work, and diverse resources for thinking one’s way further into the issues at play. -- Kym Maclaren, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Ryerson University, Canada
