This is literally the best thing that happened in France in 1945

>>16177553
It’s an amazing work that does an excellent job conveying the ambiguity of embodied consciousness from an insane amount of angle. I’m a little over halfway through, it’s a dense read.

>>16177553
I am interested in reading this. How much inspiration did he get from Whitehead? I know he liked him.

merleau-ponty is a hella rad name u know whatever he wrote had to be dank af

>>16177553
You are not in on anything. AI is going to surpass human Intelligence in every possible manner. Get a grip bro. We have more important things to think aboutm

>>16178491
Fun fact: Merleau-Ponty is regularly referenced to show the failures of AI

Literally the best book ever written in the history of philosophy. Merleau-Ponty was a true genius.

>>16177553
What are the prereqs for reading this? What is the best translation?

>>16178501
>implying circuitry, memory and power supply are not a form of embodiment
>implying embodiment is relegated to the realm of flesh
ngmi senpai

>>16178718
Oh sick I forget power supply’s, circuits and memory can have intentionality, develop cares, and exist within the different worlds that make up human existence.
>implying you have any notion of Merleau-Ponty’s conception of flesh

>>16178707
prereq reading is a meme

>>16178707
Check out the Merleau-Ponty reader and Descartes’ meditations. The landed translation, posted in OP’s pic is the best one.

>>16178829
Do I need Husserl?

>>16178838
husserl is a slog

>>16178838
No, you don’t. The introductions to the Landes translations cover anything you’d need from Husserl. The MMP reader is to help you get used to his writing style, he has a method of writing that can be tricky to follow through sustained arguments. It also introduces you to everything he will cover in TPOP, but in a way that’s pretty easy to follow, compared to jumping right in. Descartes’ meditations are all over TPOP.

>>16178866
thanks

>>16178899
No problem, I started TPOP 2 weeks back after reading the MMP reader and meditations, so you’ll be set.

If I made a Turing-complete assemblage of toilets, would you also say it perceives the world?

>>16179722
chad head: yes

>>16177553
what are the prerequisites for reading Marleau-Ponty? i've already read Being and Time but i don't remember much from Husserl

>>16177553
Something like a phenomenon

The only good french philosopher since descartes

Why are Buddhists so arrogant?
Your "ideas" weren't even new when the the monks came up with them

>>16177575
Are there any lobsters involved?

muh hundreds of organs.

Merleau Ponty and Husserl are for brainlets who want philosophy to be like science.

Synthetic a priori judgement is possible. Suck my dick phenomenologists aka empiricists in denial.

>>16180800
>t. doesn't understand Phenomenology is the true successor to Kant's system
stay mad Idealistfag

>>16180800
No they aren't. Idealism is bunk.

Could a hardcore platonist gain something with phenomenology? I have an interest in Husserl and his idea of transcendental Ego, essences, and these seem to be compatible with platonism, at least from what I heard.

>>16179722
chuckled

>>16181513
You will gain non-retardation if you drop platonism

>>16181519
why do you think this?

Bump

>>16180800
>Synthetic a priori judgement is possible
name one (1)

>>16177555
why lol

Merleau-Ponty is what Heidegger would have been if Heidegger wasn't a hack.

Bump

>>16182550
my judgement that you are a faggot

Bump

>>16185025
Why do you keep bumping this? Just read the book at this point

>>16181513
Why not read Schelerian phenomenology instead. Husserl was a mistake. Hell, not even Heidegger understood him.

>>16185647
isnt it difficult to conceive phenomenology without reading husserl?

lots of phenomenologies and perceptions
