MERCADO V., Martín. The problem of the method in Phenomenology of Perception by Merleau-Ponty. Rev Cien Cult [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.37, pp.9-42. ISSN 2077-3323.

The breadth and ambiguity with which phenomenology was defined, as well as the withdrawal from the transcendental philosophical project contained in the original idea of Husserl's phenomenology, led many of his followers to develop new lines of research. One of his most creative followers is Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908-1961), about one of whose works, Phenomenology of Perception (1945), an interesting tradition of interpreters in Spanish language was formed. One of the issues of disagreement between these interpreters is the understanding of its phenomenological method. The objective of this essay is to expose the main interpretations of the phenomenological method in Phenomenology of perception. The text begins with a note on the importance and topicality of phenomenology; then, the Phenomenology of perception is placed within the work of Merleau-Ponty; finally, the main interpretations in Spanish on Merleau-Ponty's phenomenological method are critically exposed. The result of the essay demonstrates that the understanding of the phenomenological method in Merleau-Ponty, far from being solved, is presented as a stimulating problem of philosophical investigation.
