Metaphysical Investigations

Maurice Merleau-Ponty is a 20th century French phenomenologist. Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology is a phenomenology of sensory perception and he is trying to describe the essence of human sensory perception as an embodied subject. In this interdisciplinary study, we use Merleau-Ponty's pheno- menology to describe the sensory perception of contemporary human beings in cyberspace. In addition to establishing physical relationships with other people, the current embodied subject creates extensive virtual relationships with other subjects on a virtual platform on the Internet. According to Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology, the embodied subject in virtual relationships faces multiple relations in cyberspace and percept too many objects. The meanings that the embodied subject receives through his modern life in cyberspace from the objects and other embodied subjects in this space are ambiguous and opaque, despite their great extent.
