Workshop
on Merleau-Ponty and Deleuze

AHRC European Philosophy and Culture Training Network
All participants welcome, but please contact j.r.williams@dundee.ac.uk

Speakers:
Jack Reynolds (University

(University of Melbourne)
'Merleau-Ponty and Deleuze on l'habitude, coping, and learning in
skill acquisition'
This paper will consider the divergent analyses of Merleau-Ponty
(along
with Hubert Dreyfus) and Gilles Deleuze on the inter-related themes
of
habit, coping, and trauma, paying particular attention to how they
are said to manifest themselves in learning and skill acquisition.
Given that these philosophers base quite different ethico-political
injunctions on their understandings of these phenomena, the aim
will also be to shed some light on the following enigmatic comment
by the Marquis de Sade (as cited by Deleuze in 'Coldness and Cruelty')
- 'the state of a moral man is one of peace and tranquility, while
the state of immorality is one of perpetual unrest' - as well as
to venture a conclusion as to who is right.
The paper will be followed by a roundtable discussion.
