초록

This study intends to analyze the influence of William James’s psychology in Henry James’s theory of consciousness and to elucidate its phenomenological meanings. Also, this analysis refers to Merleau- Ponty’s theory in so far as all phenomenological concepts start from it. Merleau-Ponty argues that the subject and the object are not separated but entangled with each other as the body. First of all, his flesh notion is the invisible physical character which is located between the visible and the invisible, the touchable and the untouchable, and is the mixture, crossing or infiltration of these two characters. In the same way, the structure of The Golden Bowl is grounded in a similar vision of human consciousness insofar as Maggie begins her respective adventures by evading the limits that bind her. At the last part of the novel, she accepts her responsibility for her mistaken choice. She can arrive at a transcendental apprehension with the phenomenological reduction to the thing itself after being exposed to different people. It suggests that his later works begin to pay attention to object itself. Or, more precisely, we can see Henry James’s interest shift from on the human-centered to on the object-centered.

Abstract

This study intends to analyze the influence of William James’s psychology in Henry James’s theory of consciousness and to elucidate its phenomenological meanings. Also, this analysis refers to Merleau- Ponty’s theory in so far as all phenomenological concepts start from it. Merleau-Ponty argues that the subject and the object are not separated but entangled with each other as the body. First of all, his flesh notion is the invisible physical character which is located between the visible and the invisible, the touchable and the untouchable, and is the mixture, crossing or infiltration of these two characters. In the same way, the structure of The Golden Bowl is grounded in a similar vision of human consciousness insofar as Maggie begins her respective adventures by evading the limits that bind her. At the last part of the novel, she accepts her responsibility for her mistaken choice. She can arrive at a transcendental apprehension with the phenomenological reduction to the thing itself after being exposed to different people. It suggests that his later works begin to pay attention to object itself. Or, more precisely, we can see Henry James’s interest shift from on the human-centered to on the object-centered.
