Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The relations between philosophy and theology turn to a large extent on how philosophy addresses the question of divine revelation. There can be a discourse or logos on something only insofar as this "something" has manifested itself. The use of language can only serve as an approximation for those to whom the same content has already been revealed in a fundamentally different way than that accessible through an external description. Michel Henry's Essence of Manifestation is, generally speaking, both a phenomenological and an ontological inquiry into the essence of appearing. Michel Henry's phenomenology of life, on the contrary, intentional consciousness and visibility are not only distinguished from immanent auto-affection, but also founded in it. Auto-affection is the phenomenological essence of living subjectivity as ipseity, without which there is no appearing and no horizon of the world. Life as the essence of manifestation is therefore not a theme that would only appear in Henry's Christian trilogy.
