Abstract
Este trabajo se propone en primer lugar examinar ciertas convergencias entre las
interpretaciones del corpus cartesiano propuestas contemporáneamente por M. Merleau-Ponty y G. Canguilhem. Observamos así que ambos filósofos coinciden en destacar el reconocimiento cartesiano de ciertos caracteres del cuerpo humano irreductibles a una explicación mecánica. En segundo lugar, analizamos las razones por las que Canguilhem sostiene una incompatibilidad entre la fisiología mecanicista cartesiana y el concepto de movimiento reflejo, aludiendo por último al lugar crítico que le asigna a Merleau-Ponty en la historia de la revisión contemporánea del concepto.
In the first place, this paper intends to examine some similarities between the interpre-tations of the Cartesian corpus proposed by M. Merleau-Ponty and G. Canguilhem. We observe that both philosophers coincide in emphasi-zing the Cartesian recognition of certain traits of the human body which exceed a mechanical explanation. Secondly, we analyze the reasons why Canguilhem points out an incompatibility between Cartesian mechanistic physiology and the concept of reflex movement, considering the critical role that Merleau-Ponty plays in the his-tory of the contemporary reformulation of that concept.
