Document Details : Title: From Marx to Christianity, and Back Subtitle: Michel Henry's Philosophy of Reality Author(s): WELTEN, Ruud Journal: Bijdragen Volume: 66 Issue: 4 Date: 2005 Pages: 415-431 DOI: 10.2143/BIJ.66.4.2004378 Abstract : In the 1990s, the French phenomenologist philosopher Michel Henry (1922-2002) gets interested in Christianity – but does not join the theological debate. Inspired by Marx – who is usually considered an atheist thinker – Henry develops a radical phenomenology of immanent self-affection. In this paper, I want to explore Henry’s writings on Marx to find out how Henry understands and constructs relations between Marx’ philosophy of reality on the one hand, and Christianity on the other. |
