Knight works against the grain both of readings of Merleau-Ponty as a forerunner of Derrida or Foucault, and of the idea that many of his claims are strongly implicit already in the work of Husserl. Merleau-Ponty is instead situated in a line from Plato through some speculative idealism, as a philosopher turning endlessly around the knot of phenomenality and what it occludes. -- Jeffrey Bloechl, Arthur J. Fitzgibbons Professor, and Chair of the Department of Philosophy, Boston College A truly creative extension of Merleau-Pontys unfinished ontology. -- Isaac Frisby, Durham University * International Journal of Philosophical Studies *
