La ruptura con el objetivismo en Gabriel Marcel y Maurice Merleau-Ponty
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Although the title of “first French phenomenologist” it is not usually applied to Gabriel Marcel, his original style of reflection and philosophical personality was an important
stimulus for the younger generation of philosophers which emerged in France around 1930, as is the case of Jean-Paul Sartre, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Paul Ricoeur and Emmanuel Levinas. This article shows how the critique of objectivism is one of the points where the continuity between Marcel and Merleau-Ponty and the inspiring role of the former over the latter is evident. The critique of “spectator consciousness” and “overview thought” has a key role in Merleau-Ponty’s position in contrast to the Cartesian paradigm and in the particular selection and interpretation of the texts of Husserl. Marcel and Merleau-
Ponty, in essence, share the fundamental anthropological insight that the human being, a flesh and blood being, participates and communicates internally, within his own self, and precisely because of his incarnation, with that reality that strives to think.
