Sense and Nonsense. Cézanne’s Doubt

Summary/Abstract: Sense and Nonsense (Sens et non-sens) is the first major collection published by MauriceMerleau-Ponty at Editions Nagel in 1948. The triple division of topics dedicated to art,philosophy, and politics will be kept up to his last posthumously published book, Visibleand Invisible (1964). Similarly, his specific theory of art is fostered through the years byhis interest in Cézanne’s life and work. Cézanne’s Doubt is a key text for any philosophydue to the challenging questions it poses ranging from psychoanalysis and depthpsychology to ontology of art, awareness of meaning, predetermination, and freedomborne by the contact of one’s interior and exterior world. With the Doubt we continue toask ourselves: What is that all-encompassing which is expressed by the small word ‘see’?How to grasp the positive sense of creativity? What is that ‘more enigmatic intertwined inthe very roots of being’? (The text appears for the first time in Bulgarian translated fromthe French by prof. Lidia Denkova.)
