"Ego vir videns

We're asking ourselves the same question that Maurice Merleau-Ponty raised in his Notes de travail (1960) concerning the problem of the visible and the invisible: "Poser la question: la vie invisible, la communauté invisible, autrui invisible, la culture invisible [1]". The author himself replied a few months later, in the summer of 1960:

"Perhaps we now have a better sense of all that this little word: seeing, carries. Vision is not a certain mode of thought or presence to oneself: it is the means given to me to be absent from myself, to witness from within the fission of Being, at the end of which only I close in on myself." [2]
