梅洛-庞蒂的哲学生涯开始于对笛卡尔理性主义的反抗。他把胡塞尔的现象学还原归结为唯心主义,并认为其“先验还原”并没有到达“人与自然”间原初性关系的存在。在胡塞尔现象学的概念系统及其困难的地方,梅洛-庞蒂找到其早期思想的起点:现象学的还原就是回到这种原初性存在的“知觉-现象场”。 Merleau-Ponty’s philosophical career began with resistance to Descartes rationalism. He attributes Husserl’s phenomenological reduction to idealism and believes that his “a priori restoration ” has not reached the original relationship between “man and nature ”. In the conceptual system of Husserl’s phenomenology and its difficult places, Merleau-Ponty finds the starting point of his early thought: the reduction of phenomenology is a return to this “perceptual-phenomenal field” of primitive existence.
