Maurice Merleau Ponty

    14 marzo 1908 – 3 maggio 1961

    Maurice Merleau-Ponty fu un filosofo fenomenologo francese il cui argomento centrale sostiene il ruolo fondamentale della percezione nella comprensione e nell'interazione con il mondo. A differenza di altri fenomenologi, Merleau-Ponty si dedicò ampiamente alle scienze, in particolare alla psicologia descrittiva. Questo legame ha reso i suoi scritti influenti nel recente progetto di naturalizzazione della fenomenologia, che utilizza le scoperte della psicologia e delle scienze cognitive. La sua opera offre una prospettiva distintiva sulla natura incarnata dell'esperienza, spingendo i lettori a riconsiderare il rapporto tra mente, corpo e mondo.

      Challenging and rewarding in equal measure, Phenomenology of Perception is Merleau-Ponty's most famous work. Impressive in both scope and imagination, it uses the example of perception to return the body to the forefront of philosophy for the first time since Plato. Drawing on case studies such as brain-damaged patients from the First World War, Merleau-Ponty brilliantly shows how the body plays a crucial role not only in perception but in speech, sexuality and our relation to others.

      Phenomenology of perception
    • Maurice Merleau-Ponty is one of the few major phenomenologists to engage extensively with empirical research in the sciences, and the only one to examine child psychology with rigor and in such depth. His writings have recently become increasingly influential, as the findings of psychology and cognitive science inform and are informed by phenomenological inquiry. Merleau-Ponty’s Sorbonne lectures of 1949 to 1952 are a broad investigation into child psychology, psychoanalysis, pedagogy, phenomenology, sociology, and anthropology. They argue that the subject of child psychology is critical for any philosophical attempt to understand individual and intersubjective existence. Talia Welsh’s new translation provides Merleau-Ponty’s complete lectures on the seminal engagement of phenomenology and psychology.

      'In simple prose Merleau-Ponty touches on his principle themes. He speaks about the body and the world, the coexistence of space and things, the unfortunate optimism of science – and also the insidious stickiness of honey, and the mystery of anger.' - James Elkins Maurice Merleau-Ponty was one of the most important thinkers of the post-war era. Central to his thought was the idea that human understanding comes from our bodily experience of the world that we perceive: a deceptively simple argument, perhaps, but one that he felt had to be made in the wake of attacks from contemporary science and the philosophy of Descartes on the reliability of human perception. From this starting point, Merleau-Ponty presented these seven lectures on The World of Perception to French radio listeners in 1948. Available in a paperback English translation for the first time in the Routledge Classics series to mark the centenary of Merleau-Ponty's birth, this is a dazzling and accessible guide to a whole universe of experience, from the pursuit of scientific knowledge, through the psychic life of animals to the glories of the art of Paul Cézanne.

      "This essay was in part Merleau-Ponty's response to Arthur Koestler's novel, Darkness at Noon, and a substantial contribution to the political and moral debates of a postwar world divided into two camps."--back cover

      Humanism and Terror
    • Bergson is rightly considered the philosopher of duration. Has this theory, however, been sufficiently elucidated? Is there a domain, aside from life itself, to which the characteristics of duration can be meaningfully ascribed? Why, in his thesis from 1907, does Bergson write of a "real" duration? His subsequent work Duration and Simultaneity: With Reference to Einstein's Theory (1922) is the only volume written by Bergson in the period separating Creative Evolution (1907) and The Two Sources of Morality and Religion (1932). Duration and Simultaneity represents a polemical, unique, mature and relatively neglected work, one that allows us however to respond to these questions - provided that we read it as a work of philosophy and metaphysics. This book was awarded the 2020 Polydore de Paepe Prize of the Royal Academy of Science, Letters and Fine Arts of Belgium.

      In Reality
    • Die in diesem Band versammelten Arbeiten des französischen Phänomenologen Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908–1961) bieten nicht nur einen hervorragenden Einstieg in sein Philosophieren, sondern dokumentieren auch die Entwicklung neuer Reflexionen nach der Veröffentlichung der Phänomenologie der Wahrnehmung (1945). Die Texte umfassen kunsttheoretische Diskussionen, die von Cézanne und Klee ausgehen, sowie sprachphilosophische Analysen, die kritisch am Strukturalismus de Saussures anknüpfen. Darüber hinaus werden soziologische, literarische, gestaltpsychologische und psychoanalytische Aspekte philosophisch thematisiert, wobei die grundlegenden Phänomene des Ausdrucks und des inkarnierten Sinns untersucht werden. Merleau-Ponty folgt dem phänomenologischen Imperativ Husserls, die stumme Erfahrung zum Ausdruck ihres eigenen Sinnes zu bringen. In archäologischer Manier entdeckt er Artikulationsformen des Geistigen, die sich direkten Zugriffen entziehen, jedoch indirekt aufgewiesen und in ihren eigenen Medien zur Sprache gebracht werden können. In historischer Dimension entfaltet sich ein Sinn in statu nascendi, dem Merleau-Ponty in verschiedenen kulturellen Bereichen nachgeht. Der Band enthält eine Einleitung des Herausgebers, redaktionelle Bemerkungen sowie mehrere zentrale Texte Merleau-Pontys.

      Der Gedanke, dass jede Präsenz mit Absenz durchsetzt ist und jedes Selbe ein anderes bleibt, begegnet uns nicht erst bei Derrida, sondern schon in Merleau-Pontys später Ontologie. Die Suche richtet sich hier auf ein Unsichtbares, das dieser Welt selbst zugehört und ihr Struktur und Relief gibt, und auf ein Nichtsehen, das sich dem Bewusstseinsfeld selbst einschreibt als blinder Fleck, der jeder Welt- und Selbstverfügung spottet. Das Sein bekommt Risse. Es ist nicht vor uns, sondern um uns, eher Element als Gegenstand. Fassen lässt es sich nur indirekt, in den Höhlungen, Kreuzungsstellen und Verschachtelungen dessen, was uns in der Erfahrung begegnet.

      Das Sichtbare und das Unsichtbare
    • Dva texty k Viditelnému a neviditelnému. Svazek obsahuje dva texty, které se historicky, obsahově i stylisticky úzce váží k autorově posmrtně vydanému rukopisu Viditelné a neviditelné. Jedná o důležitá a jediná souvislá autorova doplnění tohoto nedopsaného projektu, který je považován za významné a aktuální dílo, ale zároveň je pro svůj myšlenkový obsah i fragmentárnost obtížně interpretovatelný. Oba texty řeší metodologickou otázku celého projektu Viditelného a neviditelného: jak se filosoficky tázat v dnešní době, aniž bychom se spokojili s nezřídka redukcionistickými postoji evropské tradice, jako je reflexe na podstatu a hledání faktů. Recepce Merleau-Pontyho prochází v posledních letech velkou proměnou v souvislosti se změnou vydavatelské i čtenářské perspektivy. Proto je překlad je doplněn předmluvou vydavatele-překladatele Jana Haláka.
