description The article seeks to establish a relationship that has not yet been explored satisfactorily between Merleau-Ponty᾿s phenomenology of time and a central issue of analytical “theory of time”: McTaggart᾿s paradox. By clarifying the authentic meaning of Merleau-Ponty᾿s “subjectivism” regarding time, against Priest᾿s interpretation (1998), the article points out a convergence between the phenomenological approach and Michael Dummett᾿s theses developed in response to the abovementioned paradox. A “situational” solution to the paradox is attempted on the basis of Dummett᾿s ideas and Bimbenet᾿s interpretation of Merleau-Ponty᾿s “perspectivism”.
