SUBIECTUL CA EXISTENȚĂ LA MAURICE MERLEAU-PONTY
THE SUBJECT AS EXISTENCE IN MAURICE MERLEAU-PONTY

Summary/Abstract: In this article, the author analyzes Merleau-Ponty's position on the issue of the subject, as it appears in his work Phenomenology of Perception. She finds that the philosopher approaches the subject from several perspectives: as a thinking subject, which is consciousness, as a perceptual subject, which is the body, and as a plenary or total subject, which expresses the close unity of the two, and which he calls "existence." The author highlights the specificity of the subject as existence and emphasizes that this existence represents human existence. Analyzing human existence as a subject, the author also addresses the issues of intersubjectivity, history and freedom.
