A Diastole Without Systole

A Diastole Without Systole

0 - Default Title
Description
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, itbecomes clear that Merleau-Ponty's humanism offers an original and profound response to fundamentalquestions about the human being, proposing a vision of the human that integrates body and mind, subjectand 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: "Thephilosopher is the man who wakes up and speaks. And man contains silently within himself the paradoxesof philosophy, because to be completely a man, it is necessary to be a little more and a little less thanman".
