Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology of motivation -- The primacy of perception -- Empirical judgments -- Universal and a priori judgments -- Perceptual faith -- Transcendental justification -- Metaphysical judgments and self-consciousness.
Summary: "Arguing that knowledge is ultimately founded in perceptual experience, Peter Antich interprets and defends Merleau-Ponty's thinking on motivation as the key to establishing a new form of epistemic grounding. Upending the classical dichotomy between reason and natural causality, justification and explanation, Antich shows how this epistemic ground enables Merleau-Ponty to offer a radically new account of knowledge and its relation to perception. In so doing, Antich demonstrates how and why Merleau-Ponty remains a vital resource for today's epistemologists"--
