The following article aims to address merleau-pontyan understanding of dialectics outside of the idea of "end of history". The dialectic, freed from this last notion, opens the possibility of politics as a permanent and irreducible tension of the human world. The history is presented, then, as the "medium" where we deploy our existence in a permanent relationship with others, and not in a deterministic process where its realization would mean the elimination-elimination of all contradictions. The approach of the french philosopher, as the author will try to demostrate, has as a correlate the understanding of political life as an intersubjective frame where social conflicts should be channeled through institutional means.
