To render inoperative the machine that governs our conception of man will therefore mean … to risk ourselves in this emptiness: the suspension of suspension, Shabbat of both animal and man. (Agamben, The Open 92) In The Open, Giorgio Agamben diagnoses the history of both science and philosophy as part of what he calls the " anthropological machine " through which the human is created with and a...

By using the term ‘phenomenology’, Merleau-Ponty locates his work in the philosophical tradition effectively founded by Husserl, and implicitly endorses the latter’s opposition to scientific realism, to the view that one should accept the privileged status of the natural sciences as providing descriptions of the real nature of the world, however much these depart from our pre-scientific, common...

The fundamental significance of Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology of space in his early masterpiece, Phenomenology of Perception (hereafter referred as PhP), has been largely underestimated, if not completely ignored, in the literature of Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy.

Ranskalainen fenomenologi Maurice Merleau-Ponty vaikuttui taidemaalarin tavasta kohdata ja tuoda näkyväksi maailma sellaisena kuin se alkuperäisessä havainnossa näyttäytyy. Saman alkuperäisen maailman äärellä työskentelevät myös filosofi, opettaja empiristi. Nykymaailman kiireessä ryntäämme usein turhan nopeasti piirtämään ilmiöille tiukkoja ääriviivoja hukkaamme moniulotteisuutta sekä vaihtoeh...

Following a phenomenological understanding of the body and embodiment, this paper explores corporeal ethics as a practice in organisations. With the phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty, bodily dimensions and enfleshed intercorporeality are seen as media for ethically enacted and morally responsive, thus responsible forms of practicing and relationships. Then the article discusses specific forms of r...

The article begins with a short introduction to phenomenology with an emphasis on the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, whose ideas have had a great impact on cultural anthropology since the 1980s, especially through notions like ‘embodiment’ and ‘radical empiricism’. The article will proceed to outline main trends in phenomenological anthropology as well as its precursors. It then dedicates itsel...

O texto visa, contextualmente, situar Nietzsche como um precursor da fenomenologia compreendida por Merleau-Ponty menos a título de uma “doutrina” e mais “movimento” incoativo inacabado. É sob esse prisma que obra nietzschiana projeta viva audiência alguns temas caros àquele movimento, entre eles, interrogação acerca do mundo mistério. Esse agenciamento encontra na ideia profundidade fio condut...
