Abstract

The theme of metaphysics has been the focus of discussion throughout the History of Philosophy. Plato directly and indirectly influences many philosophers and thinkers that propose to enter in the universe of these questions. Among these is Merleau-Ponty, who is influenced by Platonic thoughts when developing his theories, to reinforce or to deny the thoughts of the athenian philosopher. This work seeks to present a significant overview of both philosophers and bring a comparison, in order to understand which ideas of Merleau-Ponty were innovative for the History of Philosophy, bringing contributions in fact, and which are simply repetitions of paradigms already established by Plato, but that make themselves seem innovative.
