The Story
The work that Maurice MerleauPonty planned to call The Prose of the World, or Introduction to the Prose of the World, was unfinished at the time of his death. The book was to constitute the first section of a twopart work whose aim was to offer, as an extension of his Phenomenology of Perception, a theory of truth. This editions editor, Claude Lefort, has interpreted and transcribed the surviving typescript, reproducing MerleauPontys own notes and adding documentation and commentary.
