• Abstract

  This research intends to extend a philosophy of the body and the flesh in Merleau-Ponty toward a phenomenology of the lifeworld in contemporary society. More precisely, the research puts together in a broader notion of life both a minimum anthropology perspective devoted to an ontology and a sociohistorical perspective committed to the critique of the lifeworld in contemporary society, wh…

  PHENOMENOLOGY OF THE LIFEWORLD OF CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY, AP.R

• Abstract

  The project aims at extending the concept of flesh present in Merleau-Ponty, in particular in its ontology, to the political dimension of contemporary social life. We begin with a preliminary survey of what would be one of the dominant meanings of our present life, through the concept of individualism, and one of the main points of analysis in the first stage of our research is based on A…

• Abstract

  The aim of this research is to investigate the status of art and the movement of artistic creation in the work of Albert Camus. The Franco-Algerian essayist, who bases his thought on two phases, the absurd and the revolt, consecrated his importance through great literary works, demonstrating the strength of artistic creation in his philosophical elucubration.

  Otherness and individuation in Merleau-Ponty, BE.EP.PD

• Abstract

  Expressiveness, body image and libido are key notions that accompany the development of Merleau-Ponty's work. The aim is to investigate and articulate these notions in the formation of the concept of flesh in the last period of the philosopher's work. We highlight the courses on the concept of Nature at the Collège de France, which retake the theme of the first book, The Structure of Beha…
