PONTIN, Fabrício; MAIA, Tatiana Vargas  y  BARBOSA, Camila Palhares. The moral (re)presentation: an essay on Merleau-Ponty's notion of time in the Phenomenology of Perception. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2020, vol.34, n.70, pp.375-401.  Epub 06-Feb-2022. ISSN 1982-596X.  https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.v34n70a2020-50382.

The purpose of this essay is to investigate the notion of memory in Merleau-Ponty, suggesting a possible interpretation of the time and memory within Merleau-Ponty’s genetic phenomenological analysis. Ultimately, our hypothesis is that Merleau-Ponty’s understanding of the problem of representation and perception - particularly the problem of retention - places an ethical ground in perception. We will suggest that the phenomenological approach to memory might pave a different undertaking of morals as constructed in the living-present. Our objective is then to point a moral dimension to the process of presentation-representation that happens in consciousness, and establish that our way into the comprehension of values has both a passive and active (intended) dimension that is often underdeveloped in studies of how we establish moral and political convictions.

Palabras clave : Time; Memory; Representation; Perception; Ethics.
