By examining the parent-child relationship, Childlike Peace in
Merleau-Ponty and Levinas argues that the primordial structure of
our personal encounters with others should be understood as a
dialectical spiral. Drawing on the work of twentieth-century
philosophers Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Emmanuel Levinas, and
informed by recent advances in cognitive neuroscience and child
development, Brock Bahler develops a phenomenological description
of the parent-child relationship in order to articulate an account
of intersubjectivity that is fundamentally ethically oriented,
dialogical, and mutually dynamic. This dialectical spiral-in
contrast to Cartesian tradition of the subject and the Hegelian
master-slave dialectic-suggests that our lives are equiprimordially
interwoven with both the richness of mutual engagement and the
responsibility to be for-the-other. The parent-child relationship
provides the basis for a theoretical account of intersubjectivity
that is marked by a creative interaction between self and other
that cannot be reduced to an economic exchange, a totalizing
structure, or a unilateral asymmetrical responsibility. In
conversation with the philosophical thought of Merleau-Ponty,
Levinas, Hegel, Sartre, and Freud, as well as recent research in
cognitive neuroscience and child development, this work will be of
interest for those working in the fields of continental philosophy,
embodied cognition, philosophy of childhood, psychoanalysis,
psychology, philosophy for children (P4C), and education.
