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.
