Description

<p>As many people accept, Merleau-Ponty was influenced by the writings of A. Gurwitsch, who integrated insights from gestalt psychology and Husserl’s phenomenology. However, Merleau-Ponty hardly mentioned him in public. So, it is unclear how Merleau-Ponty evaluated Gurwitsch’s phenomenological philosophy and whether or not there were essential differences between their philosophies.</p><p>The aim of this paper is to explicate the tendency of realistic phenomenology in Merleau-Ponty’s early works, particularly Phenomenology of Perception. In doing so, I will suggest that there is a fundamental conflict between the writings of Merleau-Ponty and Gurwitsch, even though they are equally inspired by gestalt psychology and Husserl’s phenomenology. My argument goes broadly as follows.</p><p>First, I clarify the issue that both Merleau-Ponty and Gurwitsch deal with. Second, I suggest that they have different attitudes on the issue. Finally, I point out that Merleau-Ponty’s realistic insight makes his approach different from Gurwitsch’s one.</p>
