Merleau-Ponty Leitor dos Clássicos

This paper comments on the doctrine which Merleau-Ponty presents, in different periods of his philosophy, about the characteristic features of the classical work and its interpretation. Admission of a certain philosophy of language and of a specific theory of productivity is shown here as underlying his doctrine. Because of that, we question whether he has actually made there a radical criticism of the “philosophy of conscience”, as usually admitted.
