According to Michel Henry, no thinker has been more influential
than Marx, and no one has been more misunderstood. With his
characteristic clarity and elegance, Henry seeks to pull out the
philosophical heart of Marx's work and the reasons this complex
philosophy has so often been simplified, distorted and obscured.
Marx: An Introduction is not just a recovery of the theoretical
centre of Marx's thinking, but also a brilliant introduction to the
work of Marx in general; concise and punchy without glossing over
the difficult material, it provides a totally fresh reading of
Marx's corpus. Michel Henry shares with Marx a concern for the
living work and the living individual and this shared preoccupation
is brilliantly conveyed throughout the book. An essential read for
those wrestling with Marx for the first time, and those looking for
a new way to approach well-trodden territory.

From beginning to end, the philosophy of Michel Henry offers an
original and profound reflection on life. Henry challenges the
conventional understanding of life as a set of natural processes
and a general classification of beings. Maintaining that our access
to the meaning of life has been blocked by naturalism as well as by
traditional philosophical assumptions, Henry carries out an
enterprise that can rightfully be called "radical." His
phenomenology leads back to the original dimension of life-to a
reality that precedes and conditions the natural sciences and even
objectivity as such. The Michel Henry Reader is an indispensable
resource for those who are approaching Henry for the first time as
well as for those who are already familiar with his work. It
provides broad coverage of the major themes in his philosophy and
new translations of Henry's most important essays. Sixteen chapters
are divided into four parts, demonstrating the profound
implications of Henry's philosophy of life for phenomenology; for
subjectivity; for politics, art, and language; and for ethics and
religion.

In this edited collection of essays, ten experts in film philosophy
explore the importance of transcendence for understanding cinema as
an art form. They analyze the role of transcendence for some of the
most innovative film directors: David Cronenberg, Karl Theodor
Dreyer, Federico Fellini, Werner Herzog, Stanley Kubrick, David
Lynch, Terrence Malick, Yasujiro Ozu, and Martin Scorsese.
Meanwhile they apply concepts of transcendence from continental
philosophers like Alain Badiou, Gilles Deleuze, Martin Heidegger,
Michel Henry, Edmund Husserl, Karl Jaspers, Soren Kierkegaard,
Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Jean-Paul Sartre.
Each of the ten chapters results in a different perspective about
what transcendence means and how it is essential to film as an art
medium. Several common threads emerge among the chapters. The
contributors find that the limitations of human existence are
frequently made evident in moments of transcendence, so as to bring
characters to the margins of their assumed world. At other times,
transcendence goes immanent, so as to emerge in experiences of the
surprising nearness of being, as though for a radical
intensification of life. Film can also exhibit "ciphers of
transcendence" whereby symbolic events open us to greater
realizations about our place in the world. Lastly, the contributors
observe that transcendence occurs in film, not simply from isolated
moments forced into a storyline, but in a manner rooted within an
ontological rhythm peculiar to the film itself.
