This book corrects that balance by turning to Merleau-Ponty's extensive engagement with literature.\u003cbr\u003e From Proust, Merleau-Ponty developed his conception of \"sensible ideas,\" from Claudel, his conjoining of birth and knowledge as \"co-naissance,\" from Valéry came \"implex\" or the \"animal of words\" and the \"chiasma of two destinies.\" Literature also provokes the questions of expression, metaphor, and truth and the meaning of a Merleau-Pontian poetics.\u003cbr\u003e The poetic of Merleau-Ponty is, the book argues, a poetic of the flesh, a poetic of mystery, and a poetic of the visible in its relation to the invisible. Ultimately, theoretical figures or \"figuratives\" that appear at the threshold between philosophy and literature enable the possibility of a new ontology. What is at stake is the very meaning of philosophy itself and its mode of expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreface\u003c\/i\u003e   ix\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAbbreviations of Works by Maurice Merleau-Ponty \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eand Other Writers\u003c\/i\u003e   xi\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eGalen A.
