Abstract
CUARTAS RESTREPO, Juan Manuel. Merleau-Ponty: "carne y ser del lenguaje"*. Eidos [online]. 2012, n.16, pp.164-181. ISSN 1692-8857.
On several occasions, the French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty says there is a "flesh of language" that can be understood as a paradoxical understanding of self and the other within the same language. This "flesh" is related to the development of human life and bears witness to the change in individuals, observing themselves, who want to be new individuals each time. Following Merleau-Ponty, this essay proposes to recognize the condi-tion of being continually reinvented by the expression of language.
Keywords : Merleau-Ponty; flesh of language; body; flesh of the world; perception; new ontology.
