Merleau-Ponty and Saussure: On the Turning Point of Merleau-Ponty’s Thinking

  • Chapter
Immersing in the Concrete

Part of the book series: Analecta Husserliana ((ANHU,volume 58))

Abstract

Immediately after the publication of Phenomenology of Perception, “fierce arguments caught on fire”.1 We can perceive an outline of these arguments in the minutes of a conference entitled “The Primacy of Perception and Its Philosophical Consequences” held by La Société Française de Philosophie in the next year (1946). The great number of questions and objections presented on this occasion to Merleau-Ponty show clearly how much misunderstanding surrounded him at the time.
