MERLEAU-PONTY'S DIALECTIC OF BODY AND SENSATION

Mehr zum Buch

Merleau-Ponty's exploration of the body emphasizes its dual role as both "subject" and "object" in the realm of perception. Through "Phenomenology of Perception," he initiates a crucial dialogue between the body and the sensory world, advocating for the body's significance in understanding human experience. This work not only rehabilitates the body in philosophical discourse but also addresses contemporary ethical and bioethical issues, asserting that the body embodies moral value that transcends commodification, thereby preserving human dignity.
