A Phenomenological Outlook On The Relationship Between Me And The Other In The Novels The Adversary And The Prisonner
Abstract
The relationship between Me and the Other is a subject which has been examined throughout the history of ideas in many aspects particularly social, political and legal. While “Me” was previously considered as the center of the thoughts on the subject, the concept “Other” has become a subject of study itself in philosophical and literary field, especially since the nineteenth century, owing to Hegel's Master-Slave Dialectic. The studies on relationship between Me and the Other have been intensified with the emergence of the phenomenological method in the early part of the 20th century. Phenomenology studies the “phenomena”: appearances of things, of realities in our experience, the way in which they appear directly in acts of consciousness. Through this method, many philosophers have taken in hand the relationship between Me and the Other via concepts such as “sameness/otherness”, “immanence/ transcendence”, “perception / sensation”. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between Me and the Other in two novels of French Literature: Marcel Proust’s The Prisoner and Emmanuel Carrère's The Adversary, through the thoughts of Husserl and Merleau-Ponty who are two important philosophers of phenomenological thinking. In this regard, we studied how the protagonists affect each other in the discourse of novels, how “Me”, in other words the “Subject” perceives himself and the Other in this relationship and how he tries to approach to the Other. In this study, we aim to clarify how the relationship between Me and the Other was constructed in the discourse of novels by means of phenomenological concepts of Husserl and Merleau-Ponty such as consciousness, perception, sensation and body.
