| This work explores the main elements of Merleau-Ponty's humanism: corporeity, perception,
intersubjectivity, and the historical and political dimension of his thought. Through these themes, it
becomes clear that Merleau-Ponty's humanism offers an original and profound response to fundamental
questions about the human being, proposing a vision of the human that integrates body and mind, subject
and object, self and other, and that reveals a new way of inhabiting the world: in a continuous and everemerging 'diastole without systole.' As Merleau-Ponty writes in In Praise of Philosophy: "The
philosopher is the man who wakes up and speaks. And man contains silently within himself the paradoxes
of philosophy, because to be completely a man, it is necessary to be a little more and a little less than
man". |
