The Time Analysis in Merleau-Ponty's Phenomenology of Perception
Kormoutová, Adéla ; Čapek, Jakub (advisor) ; Ritter, Martin (referee)
The thesis deals with the concept of time by Merleau-Ponty. For a complete and comprehensive interpretation of Merleau-Ponty's thought, the analysis of interpretation of Husserl phenomenology internal time consciousness precedes, because Merleau-Ponty it explicitly follows. The thesis also marginally deals with the interpretation of Bergson (in the context of the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty) due to a clearer insight into Merleau-Ponty's criticism of Bergson's concept of time. The core of the thesis is on one hand the comparison of the time analysis of Edmund Husserl and Merleau-Ponty, on the other hand, setting out the basic ideas on which Merleau-Ponty's concept of time is based and identifying the major problems with which Merleau-Ponty faces. The author of the thesis focuses on the analysis of philosophers understanding of explicit presence and its borders in a "field of presence". Conclusion contains the assessment of Merleau-Ponty's time analysis on the basis of the previous reflections and the own opinion of the thesis on the topic.

Merleau-Ponty The principal field of investigation of this paper is the late philosophy of Maurice Merleau-Ponty in the form the author gave it in his lectures during the nineteen-fifties and in the project of The Visible and the Invisible. More accurately, the goal is to clarify the relationship between what this author calls "vertical" Being and the aspect of reciprocal exclusivity, or incompossibility, of the segments of the field through which we have access to it. This structural characteristic is studied principally on the levels of the perception, our relationships with the others, the language and other human institutions. First, the author of the paper elucidates what he think is the reference point of this ontological philosophy, that is to say the concept of visibility. By means of an interpretation of the three fundamental structures of the visibility, the visible, the invisible, and the vision (voyant), the author demonstrates the profound ontological unity of the element of the visibility. The concept of the "institution" (Stiftung, institution) is then introduced to demonstrate how the field of the visibility is internally organized in a manner that surpasses...
