Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the proper way in which the philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty has used the phenomenological method. Understanding the being, for him, is not achieving an absolute truth reserved to an intellectual elite. Understanding the world is, on the contrary, going down, being quiet, catching up with the being and, to a certain extent, seeing things from its perspective. Taking the path of knowledge is thus downing and watching existence from its many facets without avoiding the work of the intelligence. For this reason we will go through those main aspects that distinguish the phenomenology of the first Merleau-Ponty from the phenomenon to the history passing by the existence and the other.Format
