For instance, in "The Origin of the Work of Art" (1936; >revised 1957) Heidegger, in a familiar passage, writes, Could it be that another important line runs from the late Husserl maybe through Merleau-Ponty to Foucault. Heidegger with his 'homesickness' (Derrida) looks sometimes as a more or less religious reworking of Husserl (Scheler called 'Sein und Zeit' theology without God). It was Merleau-Ponty who mentioned the need for a science of signs (was it in Signes? I'm not sure) and a scholar from Prague told me that the Husserl-studies there prepared the way for the acceptance of semiotics. -erik
