Brings a new dimension to thinking about philosophical materialism
and realism in the wake of phenomenology and deconstruction
Challenges speculative realism's critique of contemporary
Continental philosophy as correlationism Uses Merleau-Ponty and
Nancy to develop an ontology that respects the materiality and
exteriority of what exists without reinstating the mind world
divide Shows how Merleau-Ponty and Nancy overcome the Cartesian
presupposition at work in current realist appeal to step out of our
own thoughts to reach the 'great outdoors' Provides an alternative
to the phenomenological reduction of being to sense Defends
anthropomorphism as a way of overcoming the Cartesian Sartrian
ontology of the object Marie-Eve Morin proposes a reinterpretation
of the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty and Nancy from the perspective
of realist and object-oriented tendencies in contemporary
philosophy. The realist critique of subject-centred anthropocentric
thinking indicates the danger, inherent in the phenomenological
approach, of reducing being to sense. Morin demonstrates how
Merleau-Ponty and Nancy avoid this pitfall through the development
of ontologies that respect the materiality and exteriority of what
exists without reaffirming the Cartesian divide between mind and
world. Morin orients her analysis around three ideas where
Merleau-Ponty's and Nancy's thinking intersect: Body, Thing, Being.
Each time, she tracks the role of difference or spacing within
sensing and sense-making. She concludes that their respective
conceptions as encroachment and promiscuity or as unpassable limit
may provide counterweights to each other.
