Renaud Barbaras's De l' tre du ph nom ne: l'ontologie deMerleau-Ponty, published in 1991, is considered one of the most powerful andcomplete elaborations of Maurice Merleau-Ponty's thought. Almost single-handedly, Barbaras has been responsible for reviving current interest in Merleau-Ponty'sworks. In the first English translation of this important and influential work, TedToadvine and Leonard Lawlor present Barbaras's rich and profound analysis of thehistory of Merleau-Ponty's philosophical development from Phenomenology ofPerception to The Visible and the Invisible. Toadvine and Lawlor's translationcommunicates the subtle thought of the original with accuracy and elegance. Atranslators' introduction situates Barbaras in contemporary philosophical debatesand develops his guiding insights into Merleau-Ponty's thought. The Being of thePhenomenon opens European post-structuralism to further study and is certain toinspire new thinking about the origins of Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology.
