The other as the other body

The work poses the question of how is it possible to experience another human. This so-called problem of intersubjectivity is opened within the phenomenological tradition, specifically in the context of Maurice Merleau-Ponty's oeuvre. Most of the attention is, therefore, dedicated to "Other Selves and the Human World", a chapter of Phenomenology of Perception. The main goal is to disclose the nature of the solution presented by Merleau- Ponty and to submit it to a critique. Merleau-Ponty's account of intersubjectivity as intercorporeity shows coherent provided the overcoming of the subject-object dualism is carried further than it is in Phenomenology of Perception. An indication of the direction in which this could be achieved was found in Merleau-Ponty's later The Visible and the Invisible. Experience of another human is, thus, possible to explain if we overcome the dualism of the individual and the general.
