Perception and expression in Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenological philosophy

Summary/Abstract: The objective of the present article is to demonstrate that Merleau-Ponty’s latest phenomenology of speech is the sequential reflection of propositions and problems which were under consideration in Phenomenology of perception. First and foremost the philosopher tried to solve the problem of contraposition between subject and object. Also the author of the article argues that the postulate of the diacritical nature of signification is not a mere result of analysis of the Saussurian structural model. Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology of perception presupposes the specific conditions of sensual perception which implies the embodied human‘s being in the world. Thus due to background and foreground as well as the activity of differential functions (the depth and lateral dimension), the sensual perception must be considered as diacritical. Accordingly, it determines the diacricity of meaning. Perception is always related to the expressivity of lived body.
