Material Phenomenology

This book is Michel Henrys most sustained investigation of Husserlian phenomenology. With painstaking detail and precision, Henry reveals the decisive methodological assumptions that led Husserlian phenomenology in the direction of Idealism. Returning to the materiality of life, Henrys material phenomenology situates central phenomenological themesintentionality, temporality, embodiment, and intersubjectivitywithin the full concreteness of life. One of the most accessible of Henrys books, Material Phenomenology is essential reading for those interested in the future of phenomenology or in a philosophy of life in the truest sense.
