BUCETA, Martín. Analogy and Sublimation: an Answer to the Problem of the Passage from Silence to Word in the Philosophy of Merleau-Ponty. arete [online]. 2017, vol.29, n.2, pp.333-360. ISSN 1016-913X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/arete.201702.005.

The purpose of this article is to explain how the passage from the world of perception to the world of expression can occur in the philosophy of M. Merleau-Ponty. To carry out this objective we will try to expose the two ways that will allow us to outline an answer to the problem, both of which can be noticed in the work of the author. The first of these is to establish the analogy that exists between the structuring of the perceptive sense and of language, in both it will happen in a diacritical way. The second is that of sublimation, which enables the word (parole) as a carnal element that is part of the visible world but extends into the invisible. Finally, we will appeal to the notion of expressive faith to sustain the relationship between word and reality.

Palabras clave : passage; word; flesh (chair); analogy; sublimation.
