"An interesting piece from perhaps the most innovative, yet extensively ignored, French thinker of the 20th century -- Maurice Merleau-Ponty. If you have studied the Frankfurt School Critical Theorists, Merleau-Ponty's essay on the 'communist problem' will be of particular interest. For one, it similarly responds to the problems that face Marxist philosophy in the advent of Stalinism. Whereas, the Frankfurt School inherits their analysis from Max Weber, a thinker known for his critique of reason by means of an intellecutalized reserve, Merleau-Ponty writes from the anti-intellectualist intuitions of an existentialist-phenomenologist. For those who are weary of heart when 'existentialism' is uttered, rest assured, Merleau-Ponty's existential-phenomenology is a sophisticated re-working of Edmund Husserl. Which is to say, Merleau-Ponty's existential-phenomenology, despite his close friendship with Sartre, conflicts with the latter on many key points -- you won't find the any dramatic declarations within this work. Moreover, he provides one of the most thriving accounts of subjectivity available today (see Phenomenology of Perception, Visible and Invisible)
"The value of society is the value it places on man's relation to man." A quotation that prefigures recent developments in Critical Social Theory, and a lacuna in the thought of French post structuralists. 'Humanism and Terror' remains one of the most insightful expository works on politics, history and the subject. If nothing else, the clarity of his words alone are sure to captivate."
