| Sumario: | The article compares the ontology of two 20th-century philosophers, the Spanish-American George Santayana and the Frenchman Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Despite the apparent incompatibility of the former's pragmatism and the latter's phenomenology, both men are found to have struggled with similar issues of how to reconcile solipsism (the primacy of individual perception) with intersubjectivity (the encounter with other minds). Both men's views on being, consciousness, ethics, faith, and skepticism are compared. |
