Beskrivning

The contributors to this book offer productive new readings of Merleau-Ponty’s political philosophy and of other facets of his thought. They each deploy his theories to adopt a critical stance on urgent political issues and contemporary situations within society. Each essay focuses on a different aspect of political transformation, be it at the personal, social, national, or international level. The book as a whole maps out possibilities for thinking phenomenologically about politics without a sole focus on the state, turning instead toward contemporary human experience and existence.

Merleau-Ponty maintained a constant dialogue with the political that shapes much of his work in phenomenology and beyond. From the figure of the hero to the intersubjectivity of care to the question of the Anthropocene, Transforming Politics with Merleau-Ponty deepens our understanding of his philosophy while challenging us to think with and beyond him to address today’s most urgent political questions.
