No se sabe lo que puede el dolor. Sobre la experiencia del miembro-fantasma en Merleau-Ponty

Abstract

Beginning with the uncanny case of phantom pain, as it is experienced, for example, by the amputee, and taking in consideration M. Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenological descriptions and inputs on the subject, in this paper we aim to meditate on the nature and way of being of our complex corporality. Our perspective will be developed along the phenomenological analysis of the phantom limb experience, as it allows us to sketch a precise and detailed approach to the phantasmagorical way of being of the body.
