Being born from the world and being born to the world: Merleau-Ponty / Patočka
Journal Title: Meta: Research in Hermeneutics, Phenomenology, and Practical Philosophy - Year 2013, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The phenomenon of birth is here to be presented as a crucial one, discreet though, into Merleau-Ponty and Patočka’s philosophy. So it deserves a confrontation of their respective thoughts. Both of them have radicalised Husserl’s phenomenology into a philosophy of birth. This phenomenological achievement includes an ontology of birth, which feeds an anthropology in a brand new way, presented in the following pages.
