MerleauPonty's Phenomenology reconstructs MerleauPonty's treatment of the problem of ideal objects. Besmer describes MerleauPonty's early attempt to found ideal objects on prelinguistic, perceptual experience and shows that MerleauPonty ultimately came to see the shortcomings of this initial view. An examination of often ignored writings from the middleperiod of MerleauPonty's career allows Besmer to piece together MerleauPonty's mature view of ideal objects, one that does not overlook the contributions of perception but emphasizes the historical and cultural nature of ideal objects and one's experience of them. MerleauPonty's final view of ideal objects takes ideal meanings in language as paradigmatic and understands ideal objects as embedded in cultural practices and institutions.Kirk Besmer's book is the first ever to be devoted to the problem of ideal objects in MerleauPonty's thought. Showing for the first time the crucial conceptual developments and revisions internal to MerleauPonty's thought, Besmer's book will change the way that MerleauPonty is read.
