Overview

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"".
