Merleau-ponty and nagarjuna: Relational social ontology and the ground of ethics
Asian Philosophy 14 (2):131 – 145 (2004)
| Abstract | Through a comparative analysis of the key ontological notions in Merleau-Ponty and Nagarjuna, I develop a relational social ontology that is grounded in their respective implicit and explicit ethics. Both thinkers take heed of our being-in-the-world; this is evident in their views on intersubjective sociality and language. Recognizing the limitations in these views points us toward a greater understanding of the meaningfulness of our situated existences. In this vein, I propose a number of ideas to guide the work of comparative philosophy. | |||||||||
