Michel Henry, alongside figures such as Emmanuel Lévinas, Paul Ricoeur or Jean-Luc Marion, is considered one of the most creative French phenomenologists. His thought, rooted in the phenomenology of Edmund Husserl, develops this tradition in an original way, discussing both its founder and its representatives such as Martin Heidegger or Max Scheler. It is worth noting that Henry's philosophy remains under the influence of thinkers such as Cartesius or Maine de Biran, who in their own way influenced the rich tradition of "philosophizing in French".

One of the most characteristic elements of Henry's thought is his encounter with Christian theology. From the writings of John and Paul, through the texts of Tertullian and Irenaeus of Lyon, to the works of medieval mystics such as Meister Eckhart, theology has significantly influenced the philosophy of the French phenomenologist. For this reason, the genealogy of the influences and dependencies that Henry's thought enters into should itself be the subject of serious study.

The reader of this publication will have the opportunity to learn about some of these influences and dependencies, as they have become the subject of analysis in almost all of the articles contained in it. The book is an invitation to a fascinating journey through the world of Michel Henry's thought, where phenomenology meets theology and philosophy becomes a tool to understand the meaning of life.

The publication "Michel Henry. Phenomenology of Life" is not only a collection of articles, but above all an attempt to capture the essence of the thought of this outstanding philosopher. It is a reading that will surely interest all those who seek a deeper understanding of the world and human existence.
