- Additional Information
This chapter examines how Merleau-Ponty's insistence on the primacy of intentionality over and above its subjective and objective poles determines a view of consciousness as precluding self-identity by placing at the heart of the world of experience a "zone of subjectivity" across which beings become objects for a subject. This basic structure also constitutes the necessity of falsification through language.
