On Merleau-Ponty's Body Aesthetics

In this paper, as the starting point of dualism of mind and body caused by the traditional philosophy and aesthetics, leads Merleau-Ponty's critique of traditional attitudes toward the body and Merleau-Pont's body perception theory, and aesthetics. From the perspective of phenomenology, Merleau-Ponty criticize the traditional objective body, he pointed out that empiricism and intellectualism have the perception theory presupposes the existence of the objective world. Through phenomenological reduction of perceptual experience itself, he describes the body perception of space, time, motor function and emotional world, so that the body is the medium of our existence in the world, is the hub of people and the world. I have one of the worlds through the body, have a system of meaning around us, which can be used but does not need to clarify. Projection of my consciousness in this world, is the existence of intent, the intent is the body's "I Can", which shape the world and make something with no sense become meaningful. Living in the world that all the time is through the intention of the body so that continuously updates the perceptual field that I co-exist with the world. The coexistence field is the premise of any feeling. Therefore, the perception finally relies on the pre logic unity of the body. My body's any pose contains the ability that make the objects appear, the appearance of objects is contained in the body posture. Perceptual experience is throughout each other, the perception of the world only is the expansion of perceptual field of objects. Finally, we found our body throughout a pre personal subject, and found I have already established a link with others and the world, and find they have existed in my life before everything appears as clear active object for me, which is the original nature of living in the world. On this basis, Merleau-Ponty evaluates the painting of Cezanne, he thought, the painter is the existence of the body that opens to the nature, painter exchanges with the world through the body perception. Therefore, the art is the expression of the artist's body living in the world, is the expression of the original meaning of the world.
