Merleau-Ponty as a Reader of Freud

Abstract

This consists in the mapping of comments by MerleauPonty regarding the freudian concept of unconscious as well as the meaning of the psychoanalytic clinic. Our hypothesis is that the consideration of the thematic dislocations made by Merleau-Ponty throughout his work might clarify the shift in evaluation that the concepts of unconscious and clinical practice deserved between the first and last merleau-pontynian works.Key-words: Merleau-Ponty; expression; unconscious; perceptive consciousness.
