VERANO GAMBOA, Leonardo. THE OTHER'S PLACE.: THE PROBLEM OF ALTERITY IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF MERLEAU-PONTY. Univ. philos. [online]. 2012, vol.29, n.58, pp.251-275. ISSN 0120-5323.

The conception of the other present in the philosophical tradition has as a common trait, to Merleau-Ponty, the belief in the existence of an absolute transcendental subjectivity, which denies the problematic of the experience of the other from the beginning: to understand the existence of the other as truly other and not like another derivative from pre-established principles. In this context, it is to show that, firstly, in the perception of the other as a body, the otherness of the other is given as an irreducible and unsurpassable difference. Secondly, it can be stated that the other's language conceived as speech (parole), is the expression of its radical difference, of what the other has more of its own. The text is structured in three moments: 1. Inter-corporeality as a place of the other. 2. Inter-corporeality and originating communication with the other, and 3. The word: an expression of the other's difference.

Palabras clave : perception; inter-corporeality; chiasmus; speech; difference.
