Abstract
In the Structure of Behaviour Merleau-Ponty introduces the concept of “virtual space” and those of “virtual movement” and “virtual body” in the Phenomenology of perception. The purpose of this article is to establish the links between these three notions that Merleau-Ponty borrows from the psychological literature of his time and to show why they constitute key elements of his philosophy of perception.
