- W1503698037 abstract "In his lecture course on Nature, Merleau-Ponty makes the intriguing claim that an ontology of Nature is the preferred way toward ontology in general. This paper explores why he makes this claim and asks what philosophical significance this approach to ontology might have. Making use of Merleau-Ponty’s notions of chiasm and flesh as the must fundamental ontological truths, I argue that nature and history are related to one another according to the logic of the chiasm and that thinking them in terms of this relationship opens up avenues for addressing long-standing problems in both philosophy of nature and philosophy of history. Specifically, I explore Merleau-Ponty’s response to the problem of a scientific historical methodology that is distinct from the methodology of the natural sciences and suggest that his response, in its reliance on the logic of chiasm, moves the problem beyond the state it reached in the work of Wilhem Dilthey and Edmund Husserl. ‘Nature as a leaf or layer of total Being – the ontology of Nature as the way toward ontology – the way that we prefer because the evolution of the concept of Nature is a more convincing propadeutic, [since it] more clearly shows the necessity of the ontological mutation. We will show how the concept of Nature is always the expression of an ontology – and its privileged expression.’ (Merleau-Ponty, Nature, 204) Why is the ontology of nature the way toward ontology in general? And why, in turn, is a history of the ‘evolution’ of nature as a philosophical concept the way toward the ontology of nature? This paper seeks to understand the significance of historicalphilosophical reflection on nature to Mearleau-Ponty’s ontology of the visible and invisible. The answer to this question lies in two ideas. First, if we assume the validity of Merleau-Ponty’s ontology as presented in The Visible and the Invisible, we find that a relation of chiasm obtains between nature and history. Second, if we think nature and history in terms of this relation, we find ourselves provided with a fruitful approach to apprehending the meaning of both. Res Cogitans (2011) 2 Kovaka | 23" @default.
