The chapters in this book all approach the works of Maurice Merleau-Ponty from the understanding that throughout his philosophy there is an effort to create and maintain a continuity between interiority (a person's inner and psychological life) and exteriority (the material world). Olkowski (philosophy, U. of Colorado), Morley (psychology, Richmond College, London) and contributors integrate themes such as feminism, chaos theory, intersubjectivity, and the unconscious to demonstrate how Merleau-Ponty's thought can be used today in philosophy, psychology, and even the physical and human sciences.
