Objectives
Contents What is the relationship between mind and body? What is the role of corporeality in the constitution of acts of consciousness or thought? How is the perception of the world, myself and others articulated through the body?
From these fundamental questions the phenomenological movement, particularly in the figures of Edmund Husserl and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, has placed the body and corporeality at the centre of philosophical reflection. This course is dedicated to these two authors. In the final part of the course, we will focus on the analyses that have developed in the field of philosophy of the body since Merleau-Ponty, in particular the reflections of Judith Butler.
Extended Syllabus In his phenomenological research, Edmund Husserl dwells on the way subjectivity is considered by the dominant psychological approach and feels the need to recover the subjective and subsequently intersubjective dimension in the structuring of experience. In the course of the twentieth century, Maurice Merleau-Ponty developed Husserl's reflections dedicating himself specifically to the theme of the body, writing his Phenomenology of Perception. The course aims to reconstruct the links and differences between Husserl's and Merleau-Ponty's proposals in order to restore the importance of corporeality in the understanding of the subject.
