The purpose of this article is to understand two concepts that are elusive in both philosophers, in the way that, in Lévinas, the bodily subject is a direct reference to Merleau-Ponty, however, an emphasis is made on ethics expression of the face, while that by Merleau-Ponty is, more concerned with the perceptual phenomenon of the body, but his references to the face have a sense of ethics like that which Lévinas develops. Therefore, it is important to assume an ethics of the face in Merleau-Ponty, as well as ofthe body in Lévinas. Hence it is necessary to think in what sense the face involves the whole dimension of the body, meaning the “Other-incarnate-in-the-face”, as reflected the correlation between by contemporary thinkers, Emmanuel Lévinas (1905-1995) and Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908-1961).Key words: Visibility, invisible, flesh, speech, face. |
