The body of reverence to indignity between Maurice Merleau Ponty and Axel Honneth

Abstract

In this research paper, we do not assert that
we are familiar with most of the problems
that confront the human body within its
concrete existence. Rather, our work will be
limited to dealing with the problem of the
humiliated body, based on our reading of
the critical philosophical conception
formulated by Axel Hoenet, the son of the
third generation of the Frankfurt School of
Criticality, within his open philosophical
path, especially in his book The Intentional
Conflict. For the sake of recognition, which
was finally transferred to Arabic in 2015,
translated by George Katoura, Oriental
Library, Beirut, after it was published in
German in 1992 and translated into French
in 2000. We will also examine the various
forms of humiliation to which the body was
subjected within the space of contemporary
societies, and the fact that we know that it
has been revered and exalted. To the highest
ranks with phenomenological philosophy.
What does it mean to talk about the
humiliated body within welfare states? How
can we deal with the humiliated body
instead of the revered body, in light of the
intellectual progress and advancement
humanity has achieved? What forms of
insult to the body are evident in the
contemporary stage that Western societies
are going through?
