Abstract

The work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty can be characterized as the work of a philosopher who is constantly asking himself about the perception and the embodiment of being in the world. It is very hard to describe to what extent the loss of perception makes it difficult to relate to the world. But it is true that nobody is ruled out, and that resilience is a strength that allows continued activity. An approach to things and preserves a positive version of one’s self. This essay investigates, following Merleau-Ponty, the reason within to throw oneself to the other and to the world.
