Routledge are very excited to publish a new translation by Donald Landes of Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology of Perception at the end of November. It's already getting outstanding reviews...
‘This is an extraordinary accomplishment that will doubtless produce new readers for the remarkable philosophy of Merleau-Ponty. This excellent translation opens up a new set of understandings of what Merleau-Ponty meant in his descriptions of the body, psychology, and the field of perception, and in this way promises to alter the horizon of Merleau-Ponty studies in the English language.

This translation gives us the text anew and will doubtless spur thoughtful new readings in English.’ - Judith Butler, University of California - Berkeley, USA
