Phenomenological subjectivity versus cartesian subjectivity

Together with Descartes, the subject has taken an important position in philosophy. Because he sought a foundation to build philosophy as certainty. "Cogito", which emerged as the first reality as a result of this quest, also became a model that established the outside world and gave rise to a Cartesian understanding of subjectivity. Husserl, like Descartes, sought a radical starting point and expressed the need for a new idea of subjectivity. However, Merleau-Ponty, the name after him, took into account this effort of phenomenology, sought a pre-knowledge world and aimed to move the project of subjectivity forward through new concepts such as perception and body, which he brought to philosophy. Husserl and Merleau-Ponty appreciate Descartes ' importance to the thought of subjectivity, but argue that this has some problems. In order to solve these problems, a description of subjectivity has been made with the basic character of phenomenology. Ultimately, phenomenological subjectivity as a critique of Cartesian subjectivity sat within a framework within the context of the goals of phenomenology.
