Merleau-Ponty approached a philosophical tradition problem that has become critical after the development of human sciences, that is, the discordance between the view man can have of himself through reflection or conscience and the view obtained by relating behavior to the external conditions it depends on. Merleau-Ponty tried to solve this discordance in the light of scientific experimentation, mainly that of psychology. According to him, scientific experimentation demands a review of modern ontology. In this frame, the present paper addresses some of the facets of the dialogue established by Merleau-Ponty with psychology by presenting an interpretation of the subjects treated by the author, especially in his initial writings.Downloads
