Phénoménologie, affectivité, singularité. Entre Michel Henry et Marc Richir

Abstract

Richir’s and Henry’s phenomenologies seem irreconcilable. Richir’s work attempts to explain the interlacing movements inside the phenomenological mass, while Henry starts from its elusive and yet irreducible individuality. Both, however, attempt to enter seemingly impenetrable field in philosophy. Both yearn beyond the ipseical structure analyzed by Heidegger, below the ecstatic-­‐‑horizontal impulse that de-­‐‑realizes reality in the world-­‐‑structure. The two phenomenologies enter in the thickness of a pre-­‐‑ worldly layer, which carries and assembles worlds.
