The Importance of Art in Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology With Reference to Cezanne

Abstract

For Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Paul Cezanne’s paintings seize phenomenon in its manifestation instead of giving various representations of the objective world. He thinks that Cezanne’s paintings portray pure nature, the primordial world. He also argues that the purpose of phenomenology is to describe the primordial world and capture the lived experience at philosophical level. To his view, phenomenology and art must use method of reduction if they are to fulfill their purpose. He suggests that the objective, given and derivative must be subjected to reduction and being must be captured in its manifestation. However, the intimacy which he established between phenomenology and art regarding the concept of reduction also brings the danger of a possible tension between them. Because, art, particularly Cezanne’s painting can complete the reduction of the objective world. Phenomenology must use the abstract, conceptual, and philosophical language. This causes the phenomenological reduction to stay limited, moreover to corrupt the lived experience. In this article, Merleau-Ponty’s expectation from phenomenology and the philosophical value which he sees in Cezanne’s art will be discussed by staying in early period of his thought. Thus, tension in question will be discovered and the potential consequences of it for Merleau-Ponty’s early period phenomenology will be critically evaluated.
