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.
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…
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…
Le paraître et la parure. Corporéité et animalité chez Merleau-Ponty et Deleuze
2013
This chapter presents an overview on the corporeality and animality in Merleau-Ponty and Deleuze. Ontological dimension of perception was particularly highlighted in the Phenomenology of Perception and this work will deepen considerably even in the visible and invisible by the introduction of theme of the flesh as "depth" and "being latency". Merleau-Ponty draws indeed fundamental philosophical conclusions about the structures of the Environment. Merleau-Ponty discusses the descriptive material assets and perceptual behavior of animals in their own environment, not in the laboratory. It is therefore a radical mistake to pretend to judge of animality in terms of theoretical knowledge. The in…
