Description
Book SynopsisThis is the first investigation of the relation between time and memory in Maurice Merleau-Ponty's thought as a whole and the first to explore in depth the significance of his concept of institution. It brings his views on the self and ontology into contemporary focus, arguing that the self is not a self-contained or self-determining identity.
Trade Review“An important volume, both for bringing together some excellent pieces of Merleau-Ponty scholarship and for opening up an ontological perspective on the self, which definitely merits further research.” * Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences (June 2020) *
“Assembling some of the most important Merleau-Ponty scholars working today,
Time, Memory, Institution may be the most important volume on Merleau-Ponty published in many, many years.”
“The rich and impressive essays in
Time, Memory, Institution make a new and significant contribution to the field, dealing with works of Merleau-Ponty’s that have only recently become available in English.”
