Fenômeno e objeto na Fenomenologia de Merleau-Ponty

My aim is to analyze the destination of the phenomenological concept of intentional object when acclimatized to the context of the Lebenswelt, as interpreted by Merleau-Ponty in Phenomenology of perception. I try to rebuff both interpretations according to which that gesture either leads Merleau-Ponty to an empirical realism’s revival or leads him to confuse the object as intentional and the pure and simple object. In as much as the Lebenswelt is founded on the passive synthesis of temporality, I purport to show that the intentional object will be thought of as a Zeitobjekt whose “positive indeterminacy” situates it as far from the idealism’s empty X as from the realism’s thing beyond phenomenon.
