{"product_id":"the-logos-of-the-sensible-world-1","title":"The Logos of the Sensible World","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume of the collected writings of John Sallis presents a two-semester lecture course on Maurice Merleau-Ponty given at Duquesne University from 1970 to 1971. Devoted primarily to a close reading of the French philosopher's magnum opus, \u003ci\u003ePhenomenology of Perception\u003c\/i\u003e, the course begins with a detailed analysis of \u003ci\u003eThe Structure of Behavior\u003c\/i\u003e. The central topics considered in the lectures include the functions of the phenomenological body; beyond realism and idealism; the structures of the lived world; spatiality, temporality, language, sexuality; and perception and knowledge. Sallis illuminates Merleau-Ponty's first two works and offers a thread to follow through developments in his later essays. Merleau-Ponty's notion of the primacy of perception and his claim that \"the end of a philosophy is the account of its beginning\" are woven throughout the lectures. For Sallis's part, these lectures are foundational for his extended engagement with Merleau-Ponty's \u003ci\u003eThe Visible and the Invisible\u003c\/i\u003e, which was published in Sallis's \u003ci\u003ePhenomenology and the Return to Beginnings\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"John Sallis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53616536813948,"sku":"9780253040459","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780253040459_7b86af61-d651-4251-ae80-a04116864545.jpg?v=1726137756","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/the-logos-of-the-sensible-world-1","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
