Description for Material Phenomenology
Paperback.
This book is Michel Henry's 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, Henry's material phenomenology situates central phenomenological themes-intentionality, temporality, embodiment, and intersubjectivity-within the full concreteness of life. One of the most accessible of Henry's books, Material Phenomenology is essential reading for those interested in the future of phenomenology or in a philosophy of life in the truest sense.

Reviews for Material Phenomenology
Published originally in French in 1990, this book is an important contribution to phenomenology. Henry (1922-2002; formerly, Univ.
