The Aesthetics of Existential Philosophy of Merleau-Ponty in the Surrounding of Influences

Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the early sources of existential phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty and the ideas of its predecessors and contemporaries. The article focuses on the development of Merleau-Pointy’s phenomenology and its relatedness to Gestalt and Behaviorism psychology, to Husserl’s and Heidegger’s phenomenology, to non-classical “subjective ontology” (Kierkegaard, Nietzsche) and Malraux theories. It also considers the main stages of the thinker‘s creative evolution, his gradual transition from existential phenomenology to the so called “new ontology”, and the growing importance of aesthetic problems during the process. Special attention is paid to Merleau-Ponty’s aesthetics concepts and problematic field formation. His peculiar approach to problems of aesthetics and art philosophy is exposed.
