What did Merleau-Ponty call his idea on the ontology of'the flesh of the world'?

  • "Indirect ontology"

  • "Transcendental ontology"

  • "Primary ontology"

  • "Dynamic ontology"

Answer

The term "indirect ontology" refers to Merleau-Ponty’s idea that explores the nature and existence of the world through our embodied experiences and interactions with it. Unlike traditional metaphysical approaches, Merleau-Ponty's indirect ontology suggests that the essence of reality can be understood through our lived experiences, perception, and bodily engagements with the world around us.
