Merleau-Ponty's physical phenomenology not only enriches the new form of phenomenological development,but also opens the study of French existential phenomenology.His body phenomenology aimed at not only the internality and transcendence problem,but also the way of thinking that different from the rational way and the pursuit of body forgot.Because Western traditional philosophy advocates rational thinking,it promotes the status of rationality,soul and spirit,and detracts from the importance of sensibility,body and material.In this way of thinking,it is easier to form the contradictory relationship between reason and sensibility,soul and body,spirit and matter,and then cause problems of existence and body forgetting,and internality and transcendence.Merleau-Ponty proposes that the interweaving of the body based on the phenomenological dimension is the path to solve the problem.This article appeals to the perspective of the body,not only reveals the study of Merleau-Ponty from the phenomenology of consciousness to the phenomenology of the body,but also studies the body,perception,body,language and world from the horizontal comparison.Theory.Therefore,the conclusion of this paper is that Merleau-Ponty's physical phenomenology explores the relationship between intrinsic and transcendence,and shows the relationship between man and man,man and the world in the specific "life world".It promotes the study of epistemological issues and gives the meaning of the phenomenon of students.The full text is divided into four chapters.The first chapter and the second chapter explain the forgetting and returning of the body and Merleau-Ponty replaces the phenomenology of consciousness with physical phenomenology.The third chapter examines Melo-Ponty's body and language from the perspective of phenomenology.The fourth chapter expounds the new dimension and effect of Merleau-Ponty's body phenomenology.The first chapter describes the forgetting and return of the body.The spirit of questioning in the bottom of the philosophy is the "natural tendency" of human beings.Driven by this spirit of questioning,the body's forgetting process begins with the beginning of the distinction between body and mind in ancient Greece,the philosophical turn of Descartes in modern times,and the interpretation of epistemology by Kant based on the principle of internality of thinking.In particular,Descartes pioneered the philosophy of "I think so I am",which made the body's forgetting reach its peak.In the face of the problems caused by the forgetting of the body,Merleau-Ponty advocates the reintegration of the body,explaining the problems of internality and transcendence in the original meaning world.In Merleau-Ponty,behavior,gaze,sound,and language are closely related to the body.His analysis of intrinsic and transcendence issues is also based on the original meaning of the “perceived world”.The second chapter discusses the study returning from the phenomenology of consciousness to the phenomenology of the body.The turn of Merleau-Ponty's body phenomenology is based on the position of body and perception description,reinterpreting the inherent problem of consciousness.Merleau-Ponty no longer regards self as the core and starting point of philosophy,but appeals to living organisms to think about philosophical issues in an organic and holistic way of thinking.It is under the influence of this way of thinking that Merleau-Ponty turned from the conscious phenomenon to the study of physical phenomenology.The body is no longer the object of understanding,but the symbol of the body-subject.Using "I own my body" to describe the body concept proposed by Merleau-Ponty is more appropriate.The body and the "meat of the world" together constitute an important factor in explaining the relationship between man and others and the world.Merleau-Ponty proposed that the concept of "the flesh of the world" is mainly aimed at the relationship between people and the outside world.The third chapter examines the body and language in Merleau-Ponty's philosophy from the perspective of phenomenology.According to Merleau-Ponty's understanding,"meat" is characterized by the deep circulation of the body,which is a state of existence similar to the meaning of "element".The essence of his interpretation of "meat" lies in the fact that the existence of "meat" is beyond the divergence of body and mind.At the same time,the body of "meat" as a metaphor will surely reveal the ontological meaning of the body.Merleau-Ponty illustrates the "co-existence" relationship between man and others through the existence of the body or the body,and language as a "matrix" is precisely the basis for the emergence of this "co-owner" relationship.Merleau-Ponty is concerned with the relationship between language and body.He resorts to the concepts of "corps propre" and "expression" to illustrate the relationship between language and body and expression.Relationship,while language expression is an expression activity with a certain initiative.The fourth chapter expounds the new dimension and effect of Merleau-Ponty's body phenomenology.The new dimension of Merleau-Ponty's body phenomenology is reflected in the three interrelated turns: one,from logic to perception;second,from consciousness to the body;third,from concept to body.This triple turn not only makes Merleau-Ponty's physical phenomenology break through the dilemma of the solipsism,but also solves the problems faced by the phenomenology of consciousness from the perspective of existentialism.In addition,Merleau-Ponty's physical phenomenology clarifies body and perception and "community",deepening and expanding the study of contemporary epistemology and existentialism.In short,from the perspective of phenomenological research,the study of Mero-Ponty's physical phenomenology has existed before,and it will still be the case in the future."Mello-Ponty's precious spiritual heritage belongs not only to France,but also to Europe,to the West,to China as well,to the East." As Spiegelberg commented,"Mello-Ponty's Phenomenology It is the phenomenology of man;it is the phenomenology of the cause of human impossibility."...
