The Rhythm Of Thought Art Literature And Music After Merleauponty

Between present and past, visible and invisible, sensation and idea, there is resonance. So argued philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty and so Jessica Wiskus explores in this text. Holding the poetry of Stéphane Mallarmé, the paintings of Paul Cézanne, the prose of Marcel Proust and the music of Claude Debussy under Merleau-Ponty's phenomenological light, she offers innovative interpretations of some of these artists' masterworks, in turn articulating a new perspective on the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty.
