Time is not understood by Merleau-Ponty as a physiological fact, something reducible to or identifiable with specific parts of the body, nor as something centred on the Self. The perception of time is tied to the understanding of corporeality through an analysis of the temporal process within the perceptual field and its articulations. Time and movement are closely interconnected and must be understood within dynamic processes related to Gestalt factors and to what takes place in the “phenomenal present.” Alongside time in the physical sense, there is therefore a phenomenological time, which must be analysed according to the attribution of meaning that characterises our existence, our actions, and our freedom to develop projects of existence within the world-environment. The appearing of movement is structured by a logos (“relation,” “connection”) that constitutes the condition for its being an “expression of movement”.
