Abstract

Neste artigo, tentamos definir alguns aspectos de uma ética política na filosofia de Merleau-Ponty. É possível descrever um problema recorrente e estrutural em seu trabalho político: a questão do "humanismo". Este problema implica que o objetivo de qualquer ação política consiste na "instituição" de um vínculo simbólico entre os seres humanos. Argumentamos que o problema do humanismo estrutura o pensamento político do filósofo e explica a relação de Merleau-Ponty com o marxismo e a história. A intrepidez da instituição, que pode ser uma resposta ao problema do humanismo, encarna a virtude política fundamental. Virtude que Merleau-Ponty denomina "virtude sem qualquer resignação".Merleau-Ponty. Instituição. Humanismo. Virtude. Contingência.In this paper, we try to define some aspects of a political ethics in Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy. It is possible to describe a recurring and structural problem in his political work: the question of « humanism ». This problem implies that the goal of any policy consists in the « institution » of a symbolic link between human beings. We argue that the problem of humanism structures the political thought of the philosopher and explains Merleau-Ponty’s relation to Marxism and to history. The courage of the institution, which can be an answer to the problem of humanism, embodies the fundamental political virtue. A virtue that Merleau-Ponty calls « virtue without any resignation ».Institution. Humanism. Virtue. Contingency.
