El cuerpo: un modo de existencia ambigu Aproximación a la filosofía del cuerpo en la fenomenología de Merleau-Ponty

this work is an approximation to the philosophy of body starting from maurice merleau-ponty's phenomenology of perception. based on the concept of phenomenal body, we find a conception of body depicted as an ambiguous sort of being. the following sections are developed: the bodily experience: perception and object, the phenomenal body and the experience of space, temporality: retention and propensity, being-in-the-world and body as expressive space. so, from the experience of the own's body and against the idea of a subject who owns himself through self-understanding, it is shown how the boundaries between subject and object, activity and passivity, interiority and exteriority or spirit and nature vanish in the ambiguity of the body and the existence.
