#merleau

This is a sensible answer to the strange alternative pro- posed by Merleau-Ponty: to have a plan for freeing the proletariat or to sit around doing nothing. By limiting ourselves to the accomplishment of these concrete actions, ordered by circumstances, we choose “a way of putting ourselves right with the world rather than entering into it.”* But how can we enter into a world we are already in? What date does Merleau-Ponty give for his own entry into the world? He also reproaches Sartre for not “taking charge of the world,” however, Merleau-Ponty does not indicate what this titanic operation would entail. Elsewhere, he says more sensibly that “No action assumes all that happens."
