Abstract
« Notre but est de comprendre les rapports de la conscience et de la nature, organique, psychologique ou meme sociale. On entend ici par nature une multiplicite d’evenements exterieurs les uns aux autres et lies par des rapports de causalite. » Dans cet ouvrage publie en 1942, complete en 1945 par la Phenomenologie de la perception, « s’affirme pour la premiere fois une philosophie existentielle ou le mode d’etre ultime du pour-soi ne s’avere pas etre, en depit des intentions et des descriptions contraires, celui d’une conscience-temoin » (A. de Waelhens, preface). La structure du comportement se place au niveau de l’experience non pas naturelle mais scientifique et s’efforce de prouver que cette experience, c’est-a-dire l’ensemble des faits qui constituent le comportement, n’est pas comprehensible dans les perspectives ontologiques que la science adopte spontanement.
