Název v původním jazyce

Habitual Identity and Transformative Experience in Merleau-Ponty

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

To what extent can our individual identity be described as habitual? In addressing this question, the present article draws on Merleau-Ponty and gathers some observations on the relevance and limitations of the term &quot;habitual identity&quot; (both personal and social). The impossibility to merge identity and habituality is due, among other reasons, to the fact that a person&apos;s identity is co-determined by non-recurrent experiences that cannot be dealt with by relying on habitual behavior. The focus is on Merleau-Ponty&apos;s account of three types of transformative experiences (loss, personal transformation, and decision). In his analysis of existence as largely transcending habituality, Merleau-Ponty emphasizes continuity. Therefore, in the conclusion, the article addresses the objection that Merleau-Ponty is an irredeemable continuist who lacks a sense for novelty and alterity. Contrary to this criticism, it is shown that Merleau-Ponty&apos;s descriptive approach makes his ideas useful for analyzing the possible closures inherent in social identities. The reason for the criticism lies rather in Merleau-Ponty&apos;s qualification of habituality as pre-reflexivity only, which leads him to neglect the possibility of developing habits of reflexivity and non-identity, and in the missing phenomenology of plurality and conflict.
