O corpo como obra de arte e fundador da experiência estética em Merleau Ponty

Abstract

This paper presents a reading of Merleau-Ponty centered on the notion of "Body as a Work of Art", basing it on the assumption that this is a fundamental concept of contemporary phenomenology and aesthetics. This paper assumes the task of showing that Merleau-Ponty discusses the issue of the body as a work of art with no assumptions of intellectualism, of empiricism, or rather, Psychology Classic, but drawing on the lived body as that notice, which is situated in a world and therefore he has a body that is foundational. It is in this sense that his philosophical project is based, first, in an attempt to establish a return to the "lived" and the task of understanding that "the true philosophy is to relearn how to see the world." Therefore, it is justified that an investigation will consider the body as a work of art and as such, unfinished and at the same time, he feels through its developments in that sense is only accessible by direct contact. Similarly, from an understanding of Merleau-pontiana body as a work of art, finally, this work also assumes the task of asking about the repercussions of this same statement in respect of philosophical knowledge to himself, then, in their own way philosophy to understand their history and are, therefore, the importance of this foray into the opportunity to explain that to MerleauPonty, a body would be compared to the work of art as a knot of meanings alive and not the law of a number of co-terms variants.
