Description :«L’OEil et l’Esprit is the last writing that Merleau-Ponty was able to complete in his lifetime. Settled, for two or three months, in the Provençal countryside, not far from Aix, at Tholonet, tasting the pleasure of this place that one felt made to be inhabited, but above all, enjoying every day the landscape that bears forever the imprint of the eye of Cézanne, Merleau-Ponty reinterprets vision, at the same time as painting. He seeks, once again, the words of the beginning, words, for example, capable of naming what makes the miracle of the human body, its inexplicable animation, as soon as he begins his silent dialogue with others, the world and himself – and also the fragility of this miracle.» Claude Lefort.
