About this title: Together with Sartre, Merleau-Ponty was the foremost French philosopher of the post-war period and "Phenomenology of Perception", first published in 1945, is his masterpiece. What makes this work so important is that it returned the body to the forefront of philosophy for the first time since Plato.

"I picked up this book to get a better understanding on phenomenology after learning about it's applications in architecture. It's a big volume and I chose to read excerpts here and there that peaked my interest and were relevant to architecture. Very interesting although you have to pick up philosophy/psychology lingo along the way. I'll be picking it back up here and there from now."
"Collection of essays on different forms of expression - from gestures to a word. Merleau - Ponty uses methods from different of science and humanities, especially biology, psychology or linguistics. According to the philosopher the most important expression in human disposition is the expression of word. All essays shows the general form of new conception of theory of culture - original idea of the philosopher."
