The paper deals with the «philosophy of form» developed by Merleau-Ponty in La structure du comportement. Through the concepts of form and structure, the philosopher looks for a new instrument of knowledge able to connect life order with specifically human order. What is at stake is the attempt to conceptualize a «conscience naturée» which makes it possible to reinterpret the dialectical relation between life and thought, and to rethink some categories of moral philosophy (existence, freedom, choice).

Abstract
The paper deals with the «philosophy of form» developed by Merleau-Ponty in La structure du comportement. Through the concepts of form and structure, the philosopher looks for a new instrument of knowledge able to connect life order with specifically human order. What is at stake is the attempt to conceptualize a «conscience naturée» which makes it possible to reinterpret the dialectical relation between life and thought, and to rethink some categories of moral philosophy (existence, freedom, choice).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
