This article has the purpose of overcoming the dualism of interiority/exteriority in order to provide ethical phenomenological perspectives. Thereby, I will analyze from Wittgenstein's contributions on private language to the phenomenological conceptions of Husserl, Merleau-Ponty and the current studies of Fuchs and Waldenfels. In this perspective, I will find a passage from bestowal of meaning (Husserl) to a complicity of meaning (Merleau-Ponty) and, thus, to a threashold zones of meaning in Waldenfels). This will give ethical-practical perspectives for a possible sociogenesis (Srubar) through a responsive Ethos in Waldenfels.
