El Umwelt de Uexküll y Merleau-Ponty

Agustín Ostachuk

Resumen


The Umwelt of Uexküll and Merleau-Ponty

The organism against its environment. The organism against other organisms, competing and struggling for life. Antagonism and confrontment as the only possible relation in nature. The tendency to anthropomorphize nature and explain it using concepts and facts from the human sphere. A stroll through the worlds of Uexküll and Merleau-Ponty in search for an alternative knowledge that allow us to understand relationship from another point of view. A counterpoint and identification of common tonalities between the research programs from both thinkers as a way to demonstrate the possibilities of a more fruitful approach. Umwelt as a generative system of meaningful relationship in which its participants do not exclude each other, but express a melody that includes them all.

 Key words. Umwelt, body, behavior, form, structure, intentionality, teleology, circularity, meaningful relationship, melody.
