Fazendo-se, a vida se desfaz: a Natureza segundo Merleau-Ponty leitor de Bergson

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Taking as a starting point an essay by Barbaras, we intend to comment on Merleau-Ponty’s reading of Bergson in the course on the Concept of Nature, highlighting the importance, for Merleau-Ponty, of negativity in Bergson’s positive philosophy – due both to the presence of such complexity in Bergsonism, as well as for its non-permanence, in Merleau-Ponty’s view.

Keywords: Merleau-Ponty; Bergson; Nature; Being; Nothingness.
