'Completed in 1944 and published the following year, Phenomenology of Perception is the work for which Merleau-Ponty was best known during his lifetime and that established him as the leading French phenomenologist of his generation. Here Merleau-Ponty develops his own distinctive interpretation of phenomenology?s method . drawing extensively on Gestalt theory and contemporary research in psychology and neurology. Psychological research complements and, at times, serves as a counterpoint to phenomenological descriptions of perceptual experience across a wide range of existential dimensions, including sexuality, language, space, nature, intersubjectivity, time, and freedom.' - Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
