The philosophy of Maurice Merleau-Ponty was developing into a
radical ontology when he died prematurely in 1961. Merleau-Ponty
identified this nascent ontology as a philosophy of incarnation
that carries us beyond entrenched dualisms in philosophical
thinking about perception, the body, animality, nature, and God.
What does this ontology have to do with the Catholic language of
incarnation, sacrament, and logos on which it draws? In Things Seen
and Unseen, Orion Edgar argues that Merleau-Ponty's philosophy is
dependent upon a logic of incarnation that finds its roots and
fulfillment in theology, and that Merleau-Ponty drew from the
Catholic faith of his youth. Merleau-Ponty's final abandonment of
Christianity was based on an understanding of God that was
ultimately Kantian rather than orthodox. As such, Merleau-Ponty's
philosophy suggests a new kind of natural theology, one that
grounds an account of God as ipsum esse subsistens in the questions
produced by a phenomenological account of the world. This
philosophical ontology also offers Christian theology a route away
from dualistic compromises and back to its own deepest insight.
