A little-appreciated work, containing awe-inspiring insights
This book is as far as Merleau-Ponty had got in the work he was writing at the time of his unexpected death. The glimpse it offers into the position developed by Merleau-Ponty since he wrote the Phenomenology of Perception implies that, had it been finished, the Visible and the Invisible would have been a masterwork comparable with Heidegger's Being and Time. As it stands, it is still one of the three most important texts in the history of ontology, along with the aforementioned Being and Time and Descartes' Meditations. It is also a work of rare, inspiring prose.
