NUNES, Benedito. Physis, Natura - Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty. Nat. hum. []. 2004, 6, 2, pp.271-287. ISSN 1517-2430.

Merleau-Ponty, already connected in The Phenomenology of Perception, to the Lebenswelt of the late Husserl and the Being - in - the - World of Heidegger, seeks to closely maintain his ontology in his final and unfinished work The Visible and the Invisible, principally in terms of the question of language. Nonetheless, there is the generality of the notion of flesh, applied to Nature, as well as to the human body, as the basis for the new Cogito, a category that repels the precedence of Dasein, without which there would be no world.
