English summary: Philosopher and novelist Michel Henry (1922-2002) - along with Levinas and possibly Derrida - belongs to the world-less family of phenomenologists that one might compare to that of the worldly phenomenologists (Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty).Having questioned philosophical systems for forgetting what is essential in life, Michel Henry worked out a phenomenology of life which strives not to betray its mode of manifestation, but remains within that sphere of immanence in which life appears as that which shows itself as itself . To understand one's own Self and the world's phenomena based upon the experience of living and of one's auto-affection is the true key to this dense and powerful work.The purpose of this book is to trace the evolution of Henry's thought from his work L'Essence de la manifestation [Essence of Manifestation] to Paroles du Christ [Words of Christ], and to explain some of the major themes of his thought by attempting to provide readers with a few answers and perspectives.
