Consciousness embodied: language and the imagination in the communal world of William Blake

Pierce, Robyn 26 August 2014 (has links)
This dissertation examines the philosophical and spiritual beliefs that underpin William Blake’s account of the imagination, his objections to empiricism and his understanding of poetic language. It begins by considering these beliefs in relation to the idealist principles of George Berkeley as a means of illustrating Blake’s own objections to the empiricism of John Locke. The philosophies of Locke and Berkeley were popular in Blake’s society and their philosophical positions were well known to him. Blake and Berkeley are aligned against Locke’s belief in an objective world composed of matter, and his theory of abstract ideas. Both reject Locke’s principles by affirming the primacy of the perceiving subject. However, Blake disagrees with Berkeley’s theologically traditional understanding of God. He views perception as an act of artistic creation and believes that spiritual divinity is contained within and is intrinsic to man’s human form. This account of human perception as the creative act of an immanent divinity is further elucidated through a comparison with the twentieth-century existential phenomenology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty. In the Phenomenology of Perception (1945), Merleau-Ponty examines human experience as the functioning of an embodied consciousness in a shared life-world. While Merleau-Ponty does not make any reference to a spiritual deity, his understanding of experience offers a link between Berkeley’s criticisms of Locke and Blake’s own objections to empiricism. Through a comparative examination of Blake and Merleau-Ponty, the imagination is revealed to be the creative or formative consciousness that proceeds from the integrated mind-body complex of the “Divine Body” or “human form divine”. This embodied existence locates the perceiving self in a dynamic physical landscape that is shared with other embodied consciousnesses. It is this communal or intersubjective interaction between self and other that constitutes the experienced world. Merleau-Ponty’s account of the chiasm and his notion of flesh, discussed in The Visible and the Invisible, are applied to Blake in order to elucidate his belief in poetic vision and the constitutive power of language. The form and function of language are compared with that of the body, because both bring the individual experience of a perceiving subject into being in the world and facilitate the reciprocal exchange between the self and other. Ultimately, this dissertation argues that Blake characterises the body and language as the living media of the imagination, which facilitate a creative exchange between a perceiving self and a shared life-world.

A Current Need for Continuity

Svensson, Nils Patrik January 2022 (has links)
Throughout these last few decades, phenomenology and modern physics have slowly started to approach each other in order to bridge the gap between the subjective and objective. In this thesis I aim to show an approach done with the help of Karen Barad's agential realism; a quantum interpretation enabling us to better understand and analyse our complex world, as well as our perception of it.Taking inspiration from new materialism, phenomenology and physics, I see a need to properly leave discrete dualism behind, in order to be able to describe cultural and material structures as continuous manifolds. Instead of endlessly searching for their binary and changeless parts. / Under de senaste decennierna har fenomenologin och den moderna fysiken sakta men säkert börjat närma sig varandra, för att försöka fylla gapet mellan det subjektiva och det objektiva. I den här uppsatsen vill jag visa på ett av dessa tillvägagångssätt genom att använda mig av Karen Barads agentisk realism; en kvantfysisk tolkning som underlättar vår förståelse och förmåga att analysera en komplex värld, samt vår perception av den.Med inspiration från nymaterialism, fenomenologi och fysik, så ser jag ett behov att lämna en diskret dualism bakom oss, för att istället beskriva kulturella och materialistiska strukturer som en kontinuerlig mångfald. Till skillnad från det ändlösa sökandet efter deras binära och oföränderliga delar.

Le rôle de l’imagination dans la perception chez Merleau-Ponty

Paquin, Antoine 06 1900 (has links)
Ce mémoire porte sur la question de la relation entre l’imagination et la perception d’un point de vue phénoménologique. Husserl prend ses distances par rapport aux modernes en concevant l’imagination comme un mode intentionnel de la conscience et non comme une perception de faible intensité. L’ « image mentale » (ou phantasia) demeure cependant assujettie au travail de la perception. Tirant sa matière dans la perception, l’imagination (Phantasie) en neutralise le caractère de croyance et présentifie ses objets dans un domaine d’expérience parallèle à celui de la perception que Husserl nomme « l’irréel ». Sartre radicalise cette séparation entre le réel et l’irréel (ou la perception et l’imagination) en concevant l’imagination à partir de la spontanéité de la conscience, laquelle justifierait sa liberté absolue, alors que la perception demeurerait pure passivité. Merleau-Ponty, opère au fil de son oeuvre un renversement graduel de cette position antithétique. Analysant l’expérience perceptive à partir du corps propre à travers le prisme de la Gestaltpsychologie, perception et imagination apparaissent comme deux consciences qui s’interpénètrent. Leur empiètement, que Merleau-Ponty repère dans la notion d’« inconscient corporel », se manifeste le plus clairement dans l’étude de la psychologie enfantine et dans des expériences comme le rêve, l’hallucination et l’illusion. Le but de notre mémoire est donc double : d’abord, nous présentons un aperçu historique de la phénoménologie de l’imagination et de la perception chez Husserl et Sartre; ensuite, nous mettons en valeur la thèse merleau-pontienne de l’empiètement entre imagination et perception sur les plans phénoménologiques et ontologiques et les avantages qu’elle présente par rapport à celle de ses prédécesseurs. / This Master's thesis deals with the question of the relation between imagination and perception from a phenomenological standpoint. Husserl distances himself from his modern predecessors by conceiving imagination as an intentional mode of consciousness and not as a perception of low intensity. However, the « mental image » (or phantasia) remains subject to the work of perception. Drawing its matter from perception, imagination (Phantasie) neutralizes its character of belief and presents its objects in a domain of experience conceived as running parallel to that of perception, namely what Husserl calls "the unreal". Sartre radicalizes the separation between the real and the unreal (and accordingly that between perception and the imagination) by conceiving the imagination as stemming from the spontaneity of the consciousness, which would justify its absolute freedom, whereas the perception would remain pure passivity. In the course of his work, Merleau-Ponty operates a gradual reversal of this antithetical position. Analyzing experience from the perspective of the living body (corps propre) through the tools of Gestaltpsychology, perception and imagination appear as two consciousnesses that interpenetrate. Their encroachment, which Merleau-Ponty identifies in the notion of "bodily unconscious", is most clearly manifested in the study of child psychology and in experiences such as dreaming, hallucination and illusion. The purpose of our dissertation is thus twofold: first, we present a historical overview of the phenomenology of imagination and perception in Husserl and Sartre; second, we highlight the Merleau-Pontian thesis of the encroachment between imagination and perception on phenomenological and ontological levels and the advantages it has over that of his predecessors.

L'ambiguïté anthropologique et sa dimension temporelle chez le premier Merleau-Ponty

Tremblay, Félix 08 1900 (has links)
Ce travail est consacré à la conception de l’être humain qui se dessine discrètement dans les deux premiers ouvrages du philosophe français Maurice Merleau-Ponty, à savoir La Structure du comportement (1942) et Phénoménologie de la perception (1945). Le premier ouvrage, qui adopte la perspective des sciences empiriques de l’homme (psychologie, biologie, psychopathologie) et le second ouvrage, qui revendique un point de vue phénoménologique, visent conjointement à mettre en échec les paramètres métaphysiques et épistémologiques hérités de la tradition cartésienne et à révéler l’irréductibilité de notre être-au-monde. L’anthropologie philosophique qui en découle en est une de l’« ambiguïté », laquelle se perçoit le mieux dans une perspective temporelle. / This work is dedicated to the conception of the human being that is discreetly outlined in the first two works of French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty, namely "The Structure of Behavior" (1942) and "Phenomenology of Perception" (1945). The first work, which adopts the perspective of empirical sciences of man (psychology, biology, psychopathology), and the second work, which claims a phenomenological point of view, both aim to challenge the metaphysical and epistemological parameters inherited from the Cartesian tradition, and to reveal the irreducibility of our being-in-the-world. The resulting philosophical anthropology is one of "ambiguity," which is best perceived from a temporal perspective.

Expresión y contingencia en el pensamiento político de Maurice Merleau-Ponty

Mansilla Torres, Katherine Ivonee 28 May 2019 (has links)
En la presente investigación nos proponemos analizar la relación que se establece entre las ideas de contingencia y expresión en la obra política del filósofo francés Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Consideramos tres elementos interpretativos para realizar este trabajo, tomando en cuenta principalmente las obras que publicó el autor entre los años 1945 y 1955. Primero, tomamos como perspectiva de lectura el contexto socio-político del autor y cómo este responde a las situaciones vividas en su época (período de entreguerras, Segunda Guerra Mundial), nos centramos aquí en describir los trabajos iniciales de Merleau-Ponty sobre el cuerpo y la expresión, cuya profundización irá madurando hacia una radical reflexión de lo político como contingente. Segundo, analizamos el diálogo que el autor establece con otros filósofos. Nos concentramos sobre todo en el debate de Merleau-Ponty con Hegel, Marx y Sartre, pero también, aunque en menor medida, discutimos su posición frente a otros autores como Maquiavelo, Kant, Alain, Weber, Lúkacs, entre otros. Dicho diálogo busca mostrar la particularidad del pensamiento de Merleau-Ponty respecto a lo político, esto es, su forma de retomar ciertas ideas de la tradición y sus modos de interpretar un contexto político opacado por la unitelaridad ideológica de la Guerra Fría. Tercero, evidenciamos la importancia de su descripción fenomenológica de la percepción, con la que Merleau- Ponty asume una relación sistémica cuerpo-mundo, cuyo desarrollo lo conduce a una nueva comprensión de la institución, la historia y la praxis política tanto individual como colectiva. Planteamos que estas tres perspectivas de indagación muestran claramente la estrecha relación entre la expresión y la contingencia, elementos inherentes que explicitan su reflexión sobre lo político. Para el filósofo francés, lo político comprende dos dimensiones: una primera que llamamos instituida, que condensa las creencias, ideas, comportamientos y expresiones de la vida colectiva históricamente dada; y una segunda dimensión llamada instituyente, que interpela a la dimensión instituida, y hace aparecer un acontecimiento transformativo de la propia historia social, sobre el cual es posible que no se haya vislumbrado su llegada. Ambas dimensiones instituido-instituyente trabajan bajo una dialéctica que reconfigura las relaciones políticas, no desde un sentido de la historia objetiva; sino una historia que tiene su nacimiento en la vida perceptiva, natural, una forma de entender la historia que Merleau-Ponty llamará “vertical” y cuya característica principal es la ausencia de síntesis dialéctica entre lo instituido e instituyente. En el primer capítulo, describimos los momentos centrales del contexto donde se desarrolla la filosofía del autor, identificando cuáles son sus críticas a la filosofía moderna, así también presentamos cómo las ideas fenomenológicas de intencionalidad y corporalidad e institución serán centrales para pensar las relaciones sociales y políticas. En el segundo, analizamos cómo Merleau-Ponty se apoya en la fenomenología para comprender y resignificar su idea de violencia y de la historia. En el tercero, revisamos la influencia de la dialéctica de Hegel en el pensamiento del autor. En el cuarto, presentamos la interpretación de Merleau-Ponty sobre el materialismo histórico de Marx. En el quinto, examinamos las distinciones filosóficas entre Sartre y Merleau- Ponty, como fundamento para comprender las distintas visiones de praxis política que ambos filósofos amigos defienden y que termina por distanciarlos. Finalmente, en el sexto capítulo desarrollamos un análisis de la expresión que llevará al autor a plantear una visión de lo político como el espacio de lo contingente. Hacia el final de este capítulo, e inspirados por la filosofía de Merleau-Ponty, planteamos una relectura del conflicto armado interno peruano, que considere la contingencia de lo político como un elemento de lectura para comprender y profundizar más sobre el periodo de violencia nacional.
