Les créations corporelles

Abstract

This article is concentrated on the first texts of Merleau-Ponty. It tries to make clear that there is a bodily origin of the culture. It doesn't involve that we are dealing with a biological anthropology of cultural forms. This article can be read as an attempt to show the different expressions of the body and to reveal a new conception of history.
