Review of Maurice Merleau-Ponty's Le Monde Sensible et le Monde de l'Expression (original) (raw)

Maurice Merleau-Ponty's course, articulated through fourteen lessons, explores the continuity between sensibility and cultural expression, challenging previous notions of consciousness. The body-schema emerges as a crucial structure expressing language, underscoring the connection between being and expression. This work not only elaborates Merleau-Ponty's philosophical progression towards ontology but also delves into diverse topics including cinema, structure, and myth, presenting a comprehensive analysis of the experiences that forge meaning beyond traditional categories.
