Merleau-Ponty's Cézanne: On Doubt of the Thought and the Infinity of Perception - Paperback

by Augustinus Miri (Author)

"But why, this doubt of the thought? Why does the thought doubt its own perceptions? And yet, Cézanne doubts in a different way. In anxiety and anger, Cézanne does not seek explanations that can suspend his infinite doubt. Rather, he seeks in doubt the possibility of infinite perception, just as he claims the possibility of doubt in perception where the flesh unfolds itself and folds into the creation of a work.
The book shows how Cézanne suspends doubt in perception's encounter with the material, which, as modulations, folds into infinite movements that appear to me as limitless, infinite complications."
