Phenomenology is one of the most significant developments in twentieth century thought. In this bold and innovative book, Simon Glendinning provides a new way of thinking about its ongoing strength and coherence, arguing that it is to be explained less by what Merleau-Ponty called the 'unity' of its 'manner of thinking' and more by what he called its 'unfinished nature'.
