Download or read book The Prose of the World written by Maurice Merleau-Ponty and published by Evanston, Ill. : Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 1973 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work which this author planned to call The Prose of the World, or Introduction to the Prose of the World, is unfinished. There is good reason to believe that he deliberately abandoned it and that, he had lived, he would not have completed it, at least in the form that he first outlined. Once finished, the book was to constitute the first section of a two-part work--the second would have had a more distinct metaphysical nature--whose aim was to offer us, as an extension of the Phenomenology of Perception, a theory of truth.
