Abstract

In the theological space, Merleau-Ponty's thought has been valued in recent years. There have been some contributions within the Anglo-Saxon space, among which we high- light the Edgar and Simpson’ studies. At the same time, the use of Merleau-Ponty's language and argumentation has been seen in thinkers as Falque or Pagazzi. This study aims to systematize this issue and constitute a contribution to demonstrating Merleau-Ponty's theological relevance.
