Introduction
The philosophies of both G. H. Mead and Maurice Merleau-Ponty are the product of, and actively direct, the respective courses of their different traditions. Mead's philosophy is firmly rooted within the mainstream of classical American pragmatism. He maintained an ongoing philosophic exchange with John Dewey over a period of many years, and as part of the Chicago school of pragmatism was influenced from various directions by scholars working in the context of this tradition. His appropriation of pragmatism, however, took it in new directions, and the originality of his ideas contributed greatly to its further development. Merleau-Ponty's philosophy is both the result of, and an influence upon phenomenology and existential philosophy. For, while he was clearly influenced by such writers as Kierkegaard, Marcel, Heidegger, Sartre, and Husserl, it is equally clear that he was one of the leading formative proponents of phenomenology, philosophy of existence, and existential phenomenology. It is to his philosophy that the term "existential phenomenology" applies better than to any other philosophy.
