<P><STRONG>''In simple prose Merleau-Ponty touches on his principle themes. He speaks about the body and the world, the coexistence of space and things, the unfortunate optimism of science - and also the insidious stickiness of honey, and the mystery of anger.''</STRONG> - <EM>James Elkins</EM></P><P>Maurice Merleau-Ponty was one of the most important thinkers of the post-war era.

Available in a paperback English translation for the first time in the Routledge Classics series to mark the centenary of Merleau-Ponty''s birth,
