Abstract

In this article we will approach, from Merleau-Ponty, the perspective of genetic phenomenology that describes the origin of all acts, objects and forms of consciousness investigating their structure. This phenomenology undertakes a description of experience in its genesis of constitution, the origin of the very acts of constitution prior to the giving of meaning operated by the pure self.
