Description
On the one hand we have a text from the famous architecte Steven Holl, in which he explains how Merleau-Ponty's idea of the chiasm inspired his design for the new museum in Helsinki, the Kiasma Museum. On the other hand, we have the first posthumous text by the American Merleau-Ponty scholar M. C. Dillon. In this text, Dillon attempts to integrate a thought of death into a thought of life and therefore in his own, very original way he challenges Merleau-Ponty. What unites these two texts is the idea of institution. In fact all persisting structures are institued, structures as diverse as science, ideology, music, and literature, in a word, symbols. Across this volume, we see once again that the inexhaustible richness of Merleau-Ponty's thought generates constantly new reflections.
