![Merleau-Ponty. The Contemporary Philosophical Movement.
“[For instance, my] body is not an object: it is the medium of all my relations with the world.
Insofar as I have a body, I am not a pure consciousness, but am engaged in the world through this body with the aid of which I perceive. I do not merely know the world; as Heidegger says, I am in the world. The role of philosophy is to make us rediscover this bond with the world that precedes thought itself.
On another level, you see the consequences: if man is not only a thinking subject but a situated subject, our relations with others cannot, from the beginning, be the relation of a pure thought with a pure thought.
They are dominated by differences of situation; classical liberal politics ap pear abstract. Generally speaking, philosophy rediscovers a "thickness" and a relation with concrete problems it had lost when it became pure reflection on science.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3nbzvaodadyyhke4z25q5elk/bafkreidl4b7d52habfjircavfsi5mmkywbetms56a3t4o74f3cecuh6npi@jpeg)
