In The Contemplative Self after Michel Henry: A Phenomenological
Theology, Joseph Rivera provides a close and critical
reconstruction of the philosophical anthropology of Michel Henry
(1922–2002) while also addressing the question of how theology
contributes to Henry’s phenomenology. In conversation with other
French figures such as Derrida, Marion, Lacoste, and Barbaras,
Rivera undertakes a global thematic study of Henry’s work. He
shows how, for Henry, the theological debate is shifted onto a
phenomenological problem, with a coincident will to pursue the
epistemological efforts of Husserl and Heidegger. The chapters
tackle some of the most pressing debates in contemporary
Continental philosophy, such as the “modern ego,” the nature
and experience of temporality, and the constitution of the body and
otherness, and how a theological discourse may illumine those
anthropological structures. The book expands on the modern
narrative of the self from Descartes to Nietzsche, opens up the
particular lines of inquiry Henry advances in dialogue with those
figures and phenomenology in particular, and highlights the
surprising theological turns in Henry’s late work on
Christianity. Because Henry’s work is difficult, it is often
misunderstood; Rivera’s own vision of the self, one that is
shaped by Henry but not in full agreement with him, advances
insights internal to Henry but also brings into sharp focus many
problematic points in Henry’s phenomenological theology. An array
of classical theological voices appear in the final chapters, such
as St. Augustine, Tertullian, Irenaeus, Pseudo-Dionysius, and
Gregory of Nyssa, all of whom are set in dialogue with Henry. A
fresh and creative articulation of contemplation and selfhood, the
volume is a valuable addition to the continuing conversation that
seeks to build bridges between phenomenology and theology.
