| Summary: | In this paper I present two philosophers, namely Maurice Merleau-Ponty and
Jean-Paul Sartre, but from the perspective of social philosophy. I emphasize
that social philosophy proves to be a rarity today, and this explains the
necessity of articulation of the achievements of these philosophers. In
particular, I analyze the relationship between the articulation of
intersubjectivity and social philosophy and on the basis of these relations I
present the differences and conflicts between the aforementioned
philosophers. Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy is explained from the perspective of
unbroken intersubjectivity; the philosophy of Sartre is presented on the
basis of the relation between 56 transcendental subjectivity and
intersubjectivity. The article follows the genealogical approach, that is, it
highlights the dynamics of the thinking of these thinkers in order to show
the displacements. Finally, I develop the thesis that the late Sartre, who
remained within the frames of Marx’s approach, actually reinterprets the
early indications to be found in Merleau-Ponty concerning social philosophy.
Consequently, late Sartre is still an important reference point in terms of
the critical philosophy of society.
