Phenomenology and existentialism remodeled knowing and adventure of the 20th Century to their center. that they had strikingly diversified inspirations and but the 2 waves of concept turned merged as either events flourished. the current number of study dedicated to those hobbies and their unfolding interplay is now specifically revealing.
Philosophy suffers from an far more than convoluted introspection. One result's that innovations multiply unchecked. That a few occasions have observable reasons will get reified right into a First reason or, in a extra secular age, to the thesis that each occasion is fatalistically decided. one other trouble of convoluted introspection is that tiny yet an important assumptions slip in, usually unawares, with the end result that densely argued counter-tomes are written in answer and no growth is made towards any type of consensus.

Xl / THE PROSE OF T H E WORLD What phenomenology recovers for us and thus what it introduces us to is not just the freshness of perception or the novelty of language and art, though it surely reveals these as openings among the world, ourselves, and others. In Merleau-Ponty's hands, phenomenology is also the recovery of the tradition of reason in philosophy, politics, and history. In this he continues the task of responsible rationality2S invoked by Husserl in The Crisis of European Sciences. Whether we follow Husserl in taking stock of the predicament of modern philosophy or analyzing the prejudice of the natural attitude or whether we follow MerleauPonty in attempting to refashion the Marxist philosophy of history on the basis of his critique of scientism,24 we are engaged in the program of revealing the historical discourse of rationality and the philosopher's own itinerary as collective efforts to which we must be responsible without ever reducing this commitment to a methodical certitude.
The concern with philosophical sources henceforth, that is, in view of the surrender of philosophy to technique, must be a concern with the very possibility of philosophy and its world. I believe that we must try to understand Merleau-Ponty's patient analyses of the idealist and realist or subjectivist and naturalist accounts of perception, language, and history as efforts to understand the history of philosophy itself as the history of world domination whose substructures are science and capital accumulation.
Such an *T could not speak. He who speaks enters into a system of relations which presuppose his presence and at the same time make him open and vulnerable. Certain sick people believe that someone else is talking inside their head or in their body, or that someone else is talking when it is they themselves who are pronouncing or at least mouthing the words. Whatever one's view of the relation between healthy and pathological behavior, speech must, in its normal functioning, be of such a nature that disorders in it are always possible.
