Abstract

This Project aims at moving on, in the perspective and unfolding a dialogue, with de studies related to the research of my Ph.D. In that sense, the research proposes the examination of an ethics based upon Merleau-Ponty´s thought taking as its point of departure (i) the purpose that the philosopher assigns to the philosophical task (ii) as much as the notions of coexistence, common world, or common belonging, engendered by his philosophy and accomplished in the inquiry that he makes of the body and perception.
