68Lighten UpChiasmi International 19 183-199. 2017.This paper examines the ways Merleau-Ponty and Nancy think about light, a central theme in Western philosophy closely tied with form and intelligibility. The first section of this paper points out that each thinker replaces the “highest moment of light,” where it is relieved of its weight and materiality, with darkness, where light instead emerges from some apophantic depth indissociable from the material. The second section of this paper gives a critique of darkness in Nancy from Merleau-Ponty’…Read more

20IntentionalityIn The Preface to Merleau-Ponty's Phenomenology of Perception: A Re-Introduction, Springer Nature Switzerland. pp. 31-48. 2024.This chapter explores what we find in the phenomenological field—intentional consciousness. It discusses the structures of intentional consciousness (the correlation between a noesis and a noema), and the themes that result: the lived-body and motivation, the “unmotivated upsurge of the world,” and an “operative intentionality” that further thematizes the correlation between consciousness and world in terms of a more primordial, and not just static, intentionality.

332Architectonic and Myth TimeStudia Phaenomenologica 8 121-139. 2008.In a Working Note to The Visible and the Invisible, Merleau-Ponty uses the fine phraseology of an “architectonic past” and a “mythical time” to describe Proust’s remembrances of things past. This paper first considers how this architectonic past sheds light on Merleau-Ponty’s ontology, and second how this results in a mythical time, which is an originary encounter with this past. Paying also attention to Merleau-Ponty’s final, completed reflections on “Swann’s Way,” Volume One of Remembrances of…Read more
