Abstract

In my opinion, the theme recommended to the critical attention of this Congress touches on one of the leading aspects of phenomenological research, which in Merleau-Ponty’s survey takes an intense, leading theoretical path: therefore, it can lead us to interesting scientific and cultural reflections.

La phénoménologie c’est aussi une philosophie pour laquelle le monde est toujours ‘déjà là’ avant la reflection, comme une presence inaliénable, et dont tout l’effort est de retrouver ce contact naif avec le monde pour lui donner enfin un statut philosophique. C’est l’ambition d’une philosophie qui soit une ‘science exacte’, mais c’est aussi un compte rendu de l’espace, du temps, du monde ‘vécu’.1
