SUMMARY:

This dissertation’s objective is to elucidate the relations between body and memory in the philosophy of the last Merleau-Ponty, whose thought in general approaches sensibility and perceptual experience. Our efforts are centered in The Visible and the Invisible, his last and unfinished book, as in it we found considerations concerning an “indirect ontology”, sign of the last phase of Merleau-Ponty’s thought. Thinking the “flesh”, fundamental concept in order to reunite bodies and world in a ontological community, the author’s philosophy intends to go to the originary of the sensible experience, searching, in the way of an “indirect method”, the “savage” or “brute Being” that motivates and exceeds perception. In this context there is a discentering of the subject, what provides certain autonomy and independence to temporality, revealing a “ontological history” that belongs to the world and a Nature understood as selfproductive matrix of the senses of experience. Thus, we see the construction of a theory of expression that reveals human history as a fragment of the Earth’s history, and that reveals the cultural world not as rupture, but as continuity of the “natural being”, as the cultural Logos is supported by the Logos of the aesthetical world. In this direction, every memory is “Memory of the World”, comprehensible by the resumption of a sedimented past that constatly updates itself in the lived experiencies, and that institutes the sense of being a body in opening of a profound and common sensible.
