Description

Signs by Maurice Merleau-Ponty explores the philosophy of expression and its relationship to human behavior and existence. In this collection of writings, Merleau-Ponty argues that man is fundamentally expressive, even before speaking or using language. For him, speech is a means of extracting meaning from an undivided whole, but he also sees expression as encompassing gestures, silence, and lived behavior. This book presents Merleau-Ponty's thoughts on the nature of human existence and how it is expressed through various forms of communication. Merleau-Ponty's ideas on expression are gathered here in a collection of writings from the last decade of his life.
