Dennett runs smack into M-P, but I can't remember if he actually discusses him (I do remember the quick rendering of Husserl in order to dismiss him in an earlier work). But this blog explains some more: http://mikejohnduff.blogspot.com/2007/12/merleau-ponty-and-physicalism.html _

I was reading through this online just before you posted this CB. I think for a complementary thinker who could be put in the Marxist traditions, it is Merleau-Ponty. M-P died at a relatively young 53. http://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/philosophy/works/fr/merleaup.htm http://plato.stanfor
