Intentional communication is promoted to a more abstract and personal state of mind, which is not simply “sub-conscious or accidental” (ibid.), but personal or rather interpersonal, a deliberate taking up of a position that is something additional to the immediacy of understanding the other. There is an explicit awareness of the capacity of the self to convey such and such to another self.

As described above, Merleau-Ponty’s (2002) notion of being-in-the-world suggests a mode of existence that cuts across the distinction between the mechanistic body and the thematic mind. In doing so, it foregrounds an alternative concept of tacit subjectivity and agency that is not contingent upon explicit conscious representation, or cognitive acts upon such representation, but instead provides a ground and structure for such thematic reasoning. This moves debate away from how to develop cognitive awareness in children with PMLD in order for them to make sense of the objective world (described by psychology), towards understanding how the pre-objective world is meaningful in the first place. We will explore this notion further by looking at how Merleau-Ponty (2002) extends his description of the pre-objective body by differentiating between the body at this moment and the habit-body.
