Phenomenological ontology of breathing : the phenomenologico-ontological interpretation of the barbaric conviction of we breathe air and a new philos…

2018

The general topic of my philosophical dissertation is phenomenological ontology of breathing. I do not investigate the phenomenon of breathing as a natural scientific problem, but as a philosophical question. Within our tradition, breathing has been normally understood as a mechanistic-materialistic physiological life-sustaining process of gas exchange and cellular respiration which does not really seem to have any essential connection to human being’s spiritual, mental or philosophical capacities. On the contrary to this natural scientific view, I argue that breathing can be understood as a philosophical question that has phenomenological, experiential, ontological, spiritual, bodily, ment…

On the aestheticization of technologized bodies : a portrait of a cyborg(ed) form of agency

2017

Discussions revolving around cyborgs seldom include aesthetics, let alone propose aesthetics as an inextricable part of the phenomenon of the cyborg. Rather, the term “cyborg”, a contraction of “cybernetic organism”, evokes a figure of the (hu)man- machine. In the field of social and political sciences, the cyborg is designated a human-machine hybrid, a metaphor of humans becoming machinelike, or a portrait of (political) agency in an era of high technology. These approaches promote a figure of technologized bodies, that is, the cyborg as a figure of technologically dominated and altered bodies. I will sustain that the cyborg contributes to our understanding of agency in the age of high tec…

Descartes’ Notion of the Mind–Body Union and its Phenomenological Expositions

2018

The chapter clarifies the connections between Descartes’ discussion of the mind–body union and classical phenomenology of embodiment, as developed by Husserl and Merleau-Ponty. It argues that the perplexing twofoldness of Descartes’ account of the mind–body union—interactionistic on the one hand, and holistic on the other—can be explicated and made coherent by phenomenological analyses of the two different attitudes that we can take toward human beings: the naturalistic and the personalistic. In the naturalistic attitude, the human being is understood as a two-layered psycho-physical complex, in which mental states and faculties are founded on the material basis of the body. In the personal…

The Phenomenological Movement: A Tradition without Method? Merleau-Ponty and Husserl

2002

Section I tries to analyze the ambivalence of Merleau-Ponty ‘s references to Husserl. On the one hand, they indicate a deconstruction of Husserl ‘s phenomenological method; on the other hand, there are attempts to “save” Husserl. Section II is a critical evaluation ofMerleau-Ponty ‘s account of the development ofHusserl ‘s phenomenology. Section III deals with his rejection of the reduction, the account of eidetic intuition, and intentionality. Section IV is an attempt to characterize the motives behind Merleau-Ponty ‘s disinterest in method.

Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908 – 1961)

2016

Als Phanomenologe und Philosoph hat Maurice Merleau-Ponty keine Kunstsoziologie verfasst. Weder untersucht er Kunst mit soziologischen empirischen Methoden noch entwickelt er eine explizit kunstsoziologische Theorie, die in einer geschlossenen und zusammenhangenden Programmatik auftreten wurde. Vielmehr erarbeitet Merleau-Ponty seine Phanomenologie in Auseinandersetzung mit verschiedenen kunstlerischen Positionen und Werken besonders aus den Bereichen der Literatur und Malerei.

Seeing and Touching: The Optic and the Haptic in Merleau-Ponty’s Thought

2020

It is well known that Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy developed remarkably between the Structure of Behaviour, which appeared in 1942, and the later working notes of The Visible and the Invisible, written in 1960–1961. More precisely, through a self-criticism that started immediately after the publication of the Phenomenology of Perception, Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy progressed from a meditation on embodied consciousness – which was still anchored to the ontological dualism that it tried to overcome – to a radically different reflection on the status of flesh as the “element” of Being, and on Being itself as “true negative,” or as “Being of deflection” and as Wesen, in the verbal sense of this t…

A partire da Merleau-Ponty

In quale contesto e quale significato assunsero le parole di Merleau-Ponty dedicate alle forme di espressione ibride? Una riflessione sull'attualità di un pensiero che ha saputo individuare le matrici della crisi della civiltà europea nell'autonomizzarsi delle forme di vita e delle istituzioni dal loro terreno precategoriale
