The article examines the possibility of identifying an incipient philosophy of the sensible as literature exhibited in the last period of Merleau-Ponty´s works. A philosophy understood in the terms of literature is a project that the philosopher foretells but which he does not achieve because of his sudden death. The aim of the article will be to propose three essential axes to elaborate this philosophy: 1. The philosophy of the sensible as a field of creation, 2. A philosophy that appeals to the literary use of language, and 3. The philosopher-writer subject of the philosophy of the sensible as literature. We will use the unfinished Merleau-Ponty´s diptych, composed of The Prose of the World and The Visible and the Invisible, and the two courses on literature dictated by him: Recherches sur l’usage littéraire du langage and Le problÁ¨me de la parole, to trace these key aspects.
