First edition, presentation copy ""A Meriam (?) et Ammeend (?) Schcor (?)/ avedCm'amitié de/ Maurice Blanchot."", of Merleau-Ponty's famous inaugural address to the Collège de France, his frequently quoted and highly regarded ""In Praise of Philosophy"", in which he defines the essence of philosophy and predicts its future. It is here we find his famous passages about philosophy ""limping"", that ""this limping of philosophy is its virtue"", and the answer to the question what philosophy will do in the 21st century - It will limp along.
