| Abstract | |
In this academic work we examine the way by which Maurice Merleau-Ponty\'s philoso-phical discourse is constructed. Firstly, the themes of language and temporality are analised in regards to its part in philosophical questioning in general. The main interlocutor chosen for this section is Henri Bergson. Secondly, we try to bring into discussion distinct avaliations of literary practice, made by authors Merleau-Ponty stablished dialogue with in his work. Such dialogue, by the way, sheds light on the importance of non-philosophy in Merleau-Ponty\'s philosophical discourse. Finally, we attempt to trace some parallels with Proust\'s romanesque work a writer very frequent in Merleau-Ponty\'s work in order to rise questions on the proximity between literary narrative and philosophy, in what concerns discoursive construction as well as the function of temporality.
