Seeing things

Here is a great blog on Merleau-Ponty with some lively (though sometimes needlessly tedious, thanks to people who know too much) discussion of his Phenomenology of Perception. Also some exciting, great previews of a much needed re-translation of the work by the author of the blog, Sean Kelly. This is probably the most important thing going on in the world of books in American philosophy--all sorts of cognitive neuroscientists will be able to really see how pertinent Merleau-Ponty (and "existential" interpretations of the lived-body and physicality in general, perhaps even the "world" as a phenomenon and not as a collection of things) really is.
