In my paper I try to show that the phenomenology for Maurice Merleau-Ponty takes the form of a philosophical attitude to think about the unthought of the philosophical reflection. My argument is that his phenomenological approach to the unthought of philosophy remains compatible with the philosophy. He moves namely in what he calls the phenomenological archaeology toward a schema of a natural subjectivity, which, even though far away from the absolute consciousness of phenomenology, has to be seen as a deeper level of subjective consciousness.
