Iconic French novelist, playwright, and essayist, Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) is widely recognised as one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century. His work has remained relevant and thought-provoking through the decades. The Seagull Sartre Library now presents some of his most incisive philosophical, cultural, and literary critical essays in twelve newly designed volumes.

On Merleau-Ponty consists of a single long essay that analyses the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908-1961), the leading phenomenological philosopher in France. Merleau-Ponty was the lead editor of the influential leftist journal Les Temps modernes, which he established with Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir in 1945. Written following Merleau-Ponty's death, this essay is a moving tribute from one major philosopher to another.
