At the convergence of philosophy and psychology, this work continues the venture of "meditating the linguistic condition" which Edouard Morot-Sir began in <i>The Imagination of Reference, </i>this time concentrating on "perceiving, indicating, naming." Together, the two volumes constitute the intellectual autobiography of a philosopher and his response to Merleau-Ponty's famous book on phenomenology.
While the first book examined psychological, ontological, and epistemological presuppositions, this one explores the positive consequences of reference in action, with examples from religion, painting, and poetry. Morot-Sir visualizes human imagination as a field marked by four corners: perception, conception, memory, and judgment. Acting as point of intersection and center of gravitation in the center of that field, reference eventually reclaims the primacy of imagination. "We are namers and nameds," he concludes. "Without names we would be blind, deaf, and mute."
Edouard Morot-Sir, who died in 1993, was the Kenan Professor Emeritus of French at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and the author of the companion volume, <i>The Imagination of Reference: Meditating the Linguistic Condition </i>(UPF, 1993). He was also the author of many articles and books, including <i>La Pensée negative, Philosophie et mystique, La Métaphysique de Pascal, </i>and <i>Les Mots de Jean-Paul Sartre. </i>He taught logic and the philosophy of science at the universities of Bordeaux and Lille and served for twelve years as the cultural counselor to the French Embassy in the United States.
