Bøger af Maurice Merleau-Ponty

Ny udgave af 1. del af 'Perceptionens fænomenologi' med Merleau-Pontys egen vigtige indledning om, hvad fænomenologi egentlig er - en skærpet synsvinkel på væsentlige fænomener som fx sansning og krop. Den fra Descartes kendte prioritering af (fornuftens/sjælens) tænkning - 'cogito ergo sum' - vendes her på hovedet, idet M-P peger på kroppen og dens sansninger og ageren som jegets sande kerne: det er kroppen, der tænker.

Maurice Merleau-Pontys "Arbejdsnoter 1959-1961" er filosoffens forberedelser og anslag til sit aldrig færdiggjorte ”andet hovedværk”, hvis oprindelige arbejdstitel var "Sandhedens Oprindelse".Dagbøger er disse noter ikke. Vi får ikke ét ord om Merleau-Pontys privatliv. Der er tale om et konkret vidnesbyrd om det arbejde, det er at være ”professionel tænker”, hvad det vil sige at arbejde filosofisk og udvikle en tænkning. På den måde er arbejdsnoterne stadig intime. De er forsøg og overvejelser og var ikke tiltænkt offentligheden. Men da Merleau-Ponty den 3. maj 1961 blev fundet død ved sit skrivebord (med René Descartes’ lille traktat "La dioptrique", om lysets natur, opslået foran sig, samlede hans assistent og kollega Claude Lefort sin mesters mange notesbøger og begyndte at sortere dem. Han vidste som få, hvad der gemte sig af tanker i disse noter, og kendte til deres dybe originalitet.Merleau-Pontys "Arbejdsnoter" har ikke tidligere været oversat til dansk.
