I had been interested in Merleau-Ponty several years back, and I can see why his speculations would be of interest to you.

I have found though that my attention is limited, and that our time on this earth is quite limited as well.

I'm glad you are taking some notes for us.   

I understand that thinkers such as Merleau-Ponty and Edmund Husserl are worthy of attention.  I just don't seem to have an unlimited supply of attention, and so I have had to devote my limited mental powers to particular details of mathematics that may seem very boring, but give me a feeling of satisfaction.

There are a great deal of books by and about his philosophy at libgen.

It is no longer a matter of being limited by not being able to access the books.

Now it is a matter of being jealous of my own time and attention.

I no longer feel obligated to read everyone; but I do applaud your interest in Merleau-Ponty.  I have a difficult time just remembering how to spell his name!  E-A-U ... got it.

What do you think of the embodied mind?

It makes sense to me ... no body, no mind.
