%0 Journal Article %T La ambig¨¹edad de la existencia en Merleau-Ponty %A ¨¢lvarez Gonz¨¢lez %A Eduardo %J Estudios de Filosof¨ªa %D 2011 %I Scientific Electronic Library Online %X the actual piece deals with the new sense conferred to human existence by merleau-ponty, that as it simultaneously recognizes its belonging to the world according to the heideggerian notion of being-in-the-world and from a viewpoint that opposes rationalist intellectualism, nevertheless does not renounce a philosophy of the subject inspired in the later husserl. this approach leads merleau-ponty to interpret the cartesian principle of cogito as existence, and to attribute to this notion an ambiguity: that which corresponds to the double and simultaneous consideration of belonging to the world and being differentiated from it. this philosophical project is elaborated through a new way of describing experience in the line of a phenomenological conception which attributes to the body the transcendental role that classical idealism assigned to conscience. %K merleau-ponty %K existence %K ambiguity %K cogito %K subjectivity %K body %K phenomenology. %U http://www.scielo.org.co/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0121-36282011000100008&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
