Abstract: (17439 Views) |
| Merlaeu-Ponty was an existentialist and phenomenologist
philosopher who sought a new way for describing
human’s experience of the world. In order
to avoid the problems that rationalists and experimentalists
had encountered in explaining human
experience he chose phenomenological method.
Hence, instead of insisting on ideas, Merleau-Ponty
seeks to apply phenomenology to human perception
and its different aspects containing body,
arts, speech and other scientific issues. According
to him, the method of perception is an achievement
not only of philosophy but also of modern
art. He believes that artists, and among them painters
especially, do the same as phenomenologists.
Merleau-Ponty finds these phenomenological aspects
in Cezanne works more than anywhere else
aspects which Cezanne lacked theoretical means
for conveying them and therefore presented them
via his works. These aspects would be discussed in
this article by comparing Merleau-Ponty’s views
with those of Cezanne. |
