Quote from: Holden
I have finished reading the article which you sent me wherein the philosophy of Schopenhauer and Merleau-Ponty is compared.I think Merleau-Ponty comes close in some ways..but he is not as bold.

You may be interested in this paper.  We may as well be the receivers of such research.

From Husserl to Merleau-Ponty: On the Metamorphosis of a Philosophical Example

Merleau-Ponty’s Embodied Self


The question that grounds Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenological project from its very beginning concerns the relations between subjectivity and objectivity, mind and body, consciousness and world. Dissatisfied with traditional ideas of the self, especially the behaviorist and the Cartesian conceptions and their accompanying epistemologies, he sees Western thought’s forgetfulness of carnality as projecting the self as a sublimated being whose subjective correlative is a look that comes from nowhere  and, hence, dominates and encompasses everything. As Françoise Dastur explains:

Merleau-Ponty set himself the task of finding an intermediate position between intellectualism and empiricism, that is, between an insular subject and a pure nature. The world and consciousness, the outside and the inside, are not distinct beings that the full force of philosophical thought must contrive to reunite; rather, they are interdependent, and it is precisely this interdependence that becomes legible in the phenomenon of incarnation
