摘要

Reality, taken ontologically, is a fabric that plunges beneath experience. In a working note from January 1960 in The Visible and the Invisible, Merleau-Ponty writes: “Principle: not to consider the invisible as an other visible ‘possible,’ or a ‘possible’ visible for an other; this would be to destroy the inner framework that joins us to it” (VI, 229). Our world and the worlds seen by others, he adds, are nonetheless “connected”: they share a common fabric, a reality made of “inter-relations,” which makes possible a world of dynamic relations internal to the field.
