| dc.description.abstract | Mind-body is one of the main issues in Western philosophy ever since R. Descartes separates mind from the body. But, seriously speaking, it is a false issue. We are going to take the genealogical constitution as a narrative in this paper to reveal its philosophical thinking instead of the concealment of theoretical system. Such a genealogical constitution is based on the realm of the forgotten body. We first examine how Nishida Kitar□ employed ‘logic of field’ to explain the creation of ‘Absolute nothingness’, and how Yuasa Yasuo, in distinction from normal view of philosophy of religion, to exemplify action intuition that Nishida’s ‘logic of field’ relied upon. It is due to this employment of phenomenology by Yuasa, body, which is hidden in ‘pure experience’, presents itself to us. Finally, this procedure of deconstruction is carried out by Merleau-Ponty’s discussion of the genealogical constitution of body from Malebrance, Biran and Bergson. Malebrance first discovered the inner sense of unreflective subject. And then, Biran described the primitive fact of mind-body with the activity of body-experience to open the channel original unity of things and us so as to allow Nishida’s ‘ultimate reality’ to be confirmed. Nonetheless, Yuasa’s interpretation of body as action intuition is actually justified by Merleau-Ponty’s criticism of Bergson. That is to say, phenomenological operation is concerned with the logic of sense, which does not exclude either sensation or reason. For it is not saying something, but let the things be said by body’s pratice. | - |
