Abstract

In this article, we make a brief comment about the interpretation proposed by Lefort about Merleau-Ponty’s thought, seeking to circumscribe and discuss the way he recognizes, in the philosopher, the maintenance of a primacy of reason, expression of a classic figure of intellectualism. We propose to discuss some of the axes of this interpretation, especially those related to Merleau-Ponty’s understanding of the body.
