Sažetak
This paper is primarily an attempt of examining the way in which the problem of the Other is presented in existential phenomenology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty. The inspiration for the setting of that problem Merleau-Ponty finds in Husserl’s Chartesian Mediations and then, in accordance with the new meanings that the terms cogito, body, existence, and world acquire in his philosophy, he questions the entire Cartesian heritage, which is largely embedded in Husserl’s philosophy too. The central part of the paper focuses on the analysis of Merleau- Ponty’s philosophical foundation of the Other on the primacy of perceptual consciousness. It was the philosophical consequence of the primacy of perceptual consciousness that led to the need of establishing the phenomenology of phenomenology, but also to the attempt of seeing the solution of the problem in the light of ontology of visible and invisible, which will be the main topic of Merleau-Ponty’s last works.
