Summary: Good book!
Comment: The most important part of Bell's book, I believe, is the chapter on Merleau-Ponty, a chapter which marks the transition from phenomenology to post-structuralism. The preceding discussion on Husserl is good, but dozens of books are out there interpreting Husserl. Rather, his exposition not only of Merleau-Ponty but of current Merleau-Ponty scholarship, is what raises this book a notch above other books of its kind. In particular, he sheds light on the contemporary debates over Merleau-Ponty's ambiguous notion of the "flesh". And he uses the ambiguity surrounding this notion as impetus into his sections on post-structuralism, notably, the philosophy of Deleuze. As far as I know, this is the first work to present the philosophical ties between Merleau-Ponty and Deleuze. I recommend this book to anyone interested in the development of French thought in the 20th century.
