Abstract

LUCERO, Jorge Nicolás. Carnal Mode of Success: Heideggerian Kehre Contributions to Merleau-Ponty's Body Phenomenology. Diánoia [online]. 2012, vol.57, n.69, pp.70-100. ISSN 0185-2450.

The purpose of this work is to define the proper elements of heideggerian Kehre which have influenced the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty, and to establish the conceptual coordinates to construct a notion of event, latent in the ontology of the French phenomenologist. In order to achieve this, we analyze the French philosopher's ideas concerning 1) the problem of being and nothingness and its sense; 2) temporality, and 3) Ereignis. We conclude that a way of thinking that goes beyond metaphysics can be outlined from Merleau-Ponty's ontology of flesh -where it is revealed as a "sensitive Ereignis"-, particularly by taking into account his writings and lectures from 1958 to 1961.

Keywords : ontology; temporality; event; sensitivity.
