Topologický prostor jako model bytí v pozdních pracovních poznámkách Maurice Merleau-Pontyho

This interpretational sketch focuses on a reading of several remarks about “topological space” as a “model of being” in Merleau-Ponty’s notes towards a projected work, the torso of which was published under the title The Visible and the Invisible. The reason for choosing topological space as a model of being is, on the present interpretation, because it constitutes an attempt to find a place for consciousness which does not bring with it the requirement of underpinning the world.
