The Sensuous as Limit and Opening : Aesthetics in Merleau-Ponty's Le Visible et l'invisible (English)
Abstract [sv]

Med sitt ofullbordade verk Le Visible et l’invisible påbörjade Maurice Merleau-Ponty formulerandet av en poetisk ontologi – en filosofi som sätter konsten i centrum för erfarenheten av Varat och som därmed går att förstå som en estetik. Uppsatsen undersöker Merleau-Pontys Le Visible et l’invisible som en estetik i den dubbla bemärkelsen av en teori om sinnlighetens relation till tänkandet och vilken betydelse konsten har för denna relation. I fokus är sinnlighetens öppenhet gentemot en värld bortom det enskilda subjektet, som detta subjekt står i kontakt med genom sin kroppslighet. Här undersöks hur konstens sinnliga idéer indirekt frambringar en erfarenhet av Varats osynliga lager, de latenta samband mellan Varats framträdelser som följer och bär upp det synliga, och hur konsten därmed kan sägas frambringa en ny sanning. Här undersöks hur dessa sinnliga idéer kommer till uttryck, vilka former de antar. Med det aktiveras frågan om konstverkets form och innehåll, uttryck och mening. Sinnligheten förstås som samtidig gräns och öppning, som plats för den händelse som skapar världen.

Abstract [en]

With his unfinished work Le Visible et l’invisible Maurice Merleau-Ponty began to formulate a poetic ontology – a philosophy that places art in center of the experience of Being, and which is therefore possible to understand as an aesthetics. The essay examines Le Visible et l’invisible as an aesthetics in the double sense as a theory of how perception relates to cognition and what impact the arts has to this relation. It focuses on the perception’s openness towards a world beyond the subject, a world that the subject is connected to through its corporeality. It examines how the sensuous ideas of the arts indirectly brings forth the experience of the invisible layers of Being, the latent connections that lines and supports the visible, and how the arts therefore can be said to bring forth a new truth. It examines how these sensuous ideas come into expression, which forms they take. With that the question about form and content, expression and meaning, of the art work is activated. Perception is understood as the simultaneous limit and opening, as the place of the event that creates the world.
