Gallery: Véronique Fóti

We are very sad to share news of the passing of Véronique Fóti, a dedicated scholar of Merleau-Ponty, art, life, and beauty who was a longstanding and influential participant in the Merleau-Ponty Circle. Members of the Circle who attended the 2016 conference at Brock will recall that she offered us insights on art both through her paper and an exhibit of her artworks, as ways of “Doing Philosophy from the Outside.” Those of you who did not have the chance to encounter in her person or hear her voice can watch her in the video Art and Aesthetics in and After Phenomenology of Perception (A Conversation in Five Parts). We are working to gather online a gallery of images of her paintings as part of her way of thinking and living.
