The visible and the invisible
Book • 1964
This book contains the unfinished manuscript and working notes of Merleau-Ponty's last project.
It is devoted to a critical examination of various philosophical methods, including those of Kant, Husserl, Bergson, and Sartre.
The text introduces key concepts such as 'flesh' and 'chiasm,' which are central to Merleau-Ponty's later thought.
These concepts aim to clarify the ontological implications of a phenomenology that self-critically accounts for its own limitations, integrating naturalism and transcendental thought through the concept of structure.
