By means of constraint, it focuses on Ambroise Paré (1509/10–90) and Gilles Deleuze (1925–95) as representatives of early humanism and posthumanism, respectively. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Vikten av kropp. Frågan om kött och människa i Maurice Merleau-Pontys Le visible et l’invisible

    Författare :Helena Dahlberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Merleau-Ponty; flesh; body; humanism; phenomenology; French philosophy; the post-war period; history of ideas;

    Sammanfattning : This dissertation begins with a question: What is the meaning of ‘flesh’ [chair] in Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s The visible and the invisible? In answering this question, I try to grasp, not only the manifold meanings of flesh in The visible and the invisible, but also the reasons why the meaning of this concept cannot be neatly encompassed. Starting from Merleau-Ponty’s understanding of philosophical language, I explore how the concept of flesh works as a linguistic concept, and how it is meaningful because of its ability to call already established meanings into question.
