Freedom, a non-destination non-determinative view

Xavier Tilliette Merleau-Ponty ou la mesure de l'homme in the series Philosophes de tous les temps.

I like to place this remark about perception awakened being akin to sending science in a dizzying spin

Réveiller la perception, c'est étourdir la science

with a passage several dozen pages later

Si la contingence extermine le rêve de destination bienheureuse, elle abonde de la richesse du monde, elle assure à la vie humaine le sérieux de la liberté.

Contingency as a mode of salvation, as perpetual process. Keeps perception sharp to be on the look out for the haphazard, the accidental.

And so for day 238
