I am curious about the story you read with the idea that we walk into the future, but actually walk backwards ( at 34:22 ). Could it be The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus? Thanks anyway for this handy overview and your insights.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it isn't Camus. I can't for the life of me remember where I came across that idea. Thanks for the comment though.

@@absurdbeing2219 Hi! First, congrats for the channel and your way of disclosing Merleau-Ponty's thought with everyone. The walk towards the future through the past reminds me Merleau-Ponty's course on institution and passivity and its idea that a sedimented sense in the past is an openness towards the future, so that our future representations of the world will be sedimented in our ancestors' past (very easy but interesting idea). Basically we share our future and its meanings with the people of the past! I don't know if you're familiar with this course, if you're not I really suggest you to give it a look. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Could be Walter Benjamin's Angel of History (or On the Concept of History): "This is how one pictures the angel of history. His face is turned toward the past. Where we perceive a chain of events, he sees one single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage and hurls it in front of his feet. The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing in from Paradise; it has got caught in his wings with such a violence that the angel can no longer close them. The storm irresistibly propels him into the future to which his back is turned, while the pile of debris before him grows skyward. This storm is what we call progress."

Your videos help me so much!! My university is going through a strike so I have little access to my instructors. Merleau-Ponty would not be the same without you!!

Oh no. Funnily enough, it's the uni students (medicine majors anyway) striking here in Korea. Really glad to hear that my videos help, though. Good to have you on board for this series.
