In this thesis, I argue that Merleau Ponty's frequent reference to painting in his philosophy can help us better understand what exactly he means by "intersubjectivity". Creating and experiencing paintings enable us to more directly experience the subjectivity that exists between people and helps us escape from becoming isolated in our own limited perceptions. Finally, I argue that this understanding of intersubjectivity given to us through painting has deep and innate ethical implications, and I close with a brief consideration of what this sort of ethics might look like in practice.
