Abstract

In this paper, we present the modification realized in the metaphysical status of the subject of knowledge by Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology of Perception – according to a certain appropriation of that thesis made by the embodied cognition movement –, and we seek to understand why that very metaphysical transformation was altered in Merleau-Ponty’s late thought. Our purpose is to suggest a kind of thinking that could allow to the contemporary philosophy of mind to preserve the discovery of embodied cognition without assuming the commitments of the late phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty
