Em Descartes encontramos dois programas distintos de pesquisa para a Antropologia: um para o corpo, do qual se encarregou nossa medicina, e outro para a alma, do qual se encarregou nossa psicologia. Afinal, embora na Antropologia cartesiana o homem seja de fato a uni o substancial de corpo e alma, s¨® se pode falar com clareza de um ou outro termo conforme os ditames de sua metaf¨ªsica. Atrav¨¦s da descri o do sentido da experi¨ºncia do corpo pr¨®prio, Merleau-Ponty busca desconstruir as no es de corpo e alma em Descartes para explicitar essa uni o que a filosofia cartesiana reconheceu apenas de fato. A no o de sentir ou afeto ¨¦ central nessa discuss o, pois ¨¦ a express o privilegiada dessa uni o. Based on the notion of feeling, according to the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty, the legacy of Cartesian metaphysics presence in western medicine and psychology is discussed. In Descartes we find two distinct programs of research: one for the body, which undertook our medicine, and another for the soul, which undertook our psychology. After all, although in the Cartesian Anthropology man is in fact the substantial union between body and soul, his metaphysical establishes that we can just speak clearly about them separately. By describing the meaning of the experience of the own body, Merleau-Ponty seeks to deconstruct the notions of body and soul in Descartes, and point out this union that Descartes's philosophy recognized just in fact. The notion of feeling is the bottom line in this discussion, once it is the privileged expression of this union. %K metaf¨ªsica moderna %K Merleau-Ponty %K medicina %K psicologia %K modern metaphysics %K Merleau-Ponty %K medicine %K psychology %U http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0103-56652012000200008
