Senses of course. Reason stems from your perceptual understanding of the world

>thinking ponty isnt kantian

>Whether explicitly or implicitly, Kant’s critical project weighs heavily upon Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology of Perception. This article argues that we can understand Merleau-Ponty’s text as a phenomenological rewriting of the Critique of Pure Reason from within the paradoxical structures of lived experience, effectively merging Kant’s Transcendental Aesthetic and Transcendental Analytic. Although he was influenced by Husserl’s and Heidegger’s interpretations of Kant’s first version of the Transcendental Deduction, Merleau-Ponty develops a unique position between Kant, Husserl, and Heidegger via an embodied and lived synthesis that collapses Kant’s distinction between sensibility and the understanding, and that makes sense of temporality and subjectivity as a paradoxical trajectory.

How does phenomenology discount kantianism?

[Anonymous No.11930077]

>>11930055

did you literally post a fucking intro to an article? who is that, sebastian gardner? anyone who reads the PoP knows that Kant looms large above it but to call MP a Kantian is laughable. that collapse between sensibility and understanding is precisely where MP moves away from Kant. he, following Husserl, had to rethink a phenomenology of all perception in order to move away from transcendental idealism.

Have a second paper!
>It has become typical to read Kant and Merleau-Ponty as offering competing approaches to perceptual experience. Kant is interpreted as an ‘intellectualist’ who regards perception as conceptual ‘all the way out’, while Merleau-Ponty is seen as Kant’s challenger, who argues that perception involves non-conceptual, embodied ‘coping’. In this paper, however, I argue that a closer examination of their views of perception, especially with respect to the notion of ‘schematism’, reveals a great deal of historical and philosophical continuity between them. By analyzing Kant’s theory of schematism, the interpretation of it by the Neo-Kantian Pierre Lachièze-Rey, and Merleau-Ponty’s theory of the body schema, we find that aspects of Merleau-Ponty’s theory of perception are better understood as a development of Kant’s theory of perception.
