This review is from: The Prose of the World (Paperback)
Merleau-Ponty's other unfinished book is a remarkable work of phenomenology, with significant development's in this great thinker's work. This is an amazingly complex investigation into the nature of language itself-Merleau-Ponty juxtaposes the language of the sciences, i.e. "the algorithm," with "the language of literature," while he privileges the latter. There are significant aesthetic contributions to literary theory in this text-with astonishing passages on the nature of reading and the transmission of signs. Strangely enough, Merleau-Ponty is quite close to Saussure and the structuralist tradition at many points in this text-despite his explicit criticisms of structuralism in Signs. While this text is unfinished and uneven, there are still exceptional passages on language-as great as anything in Phenomenology of Perception.
