“A very important contribution to the foundation and the method of
philosophy.”
—Adriaan T. Peperzak, Loyola University, Chicago

20th-century France’s most important phenomenologists.”
—Jeffrey Kosky, Washington & Lee University
"Translation of a 1990 work by the French philosopher (1922–2002)."
—The Chronicle of Higher Education
". . . The analysis presumes significant knowledge of Husserlian phenomenology, but is an original and creative contribution to phenomenological research. Davidson provides a clear translation of this work and an elucidating introduction. Summing Up: Recommended."—Choice 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.
