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.Paul Audi, a graduate of Ecole Normale Superieure (ENS) whose agregation degree is in philosophy, is a prolific writer who has publised numerous works on Rousseau, Romain Gary and Michel Henry. French description: Michel Henry (1922-2002), philosophe et romancier, appartient a la famille des phenomenologues sans monde (avec Levinas, et peut-etre Derrida), que l’on pourrait opposer a celle des phenomenologues du monde (Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty). Reprochant aux systemes philosophiques d’oublier l’essentiel de la vie, Michel Henry elabore une phenomenologie de la vie qui entend ne pas trahir son mode de manifestation, qui reste dans cette sphere d’immanence ou la vie apparait comme ce qui se sent soi-meme. Comprendre le Moi et les phenomenes du monde a partir du vivre et de son auto-affection, tel est le vrai ressort de cetteOEuvre dense et rigoureuse. On se propose ici d’en restituer le mouvement, depuis l’Essence de la manifestation jusqu’a Paroles du Christ en passant notamment par Marx, Genealogie de la psychanalyse et Voir l’invisible. Sur Kandinsky, et d’expliciter certains de ses themes majeurs: la duplicite de l’apparaitre la vie en tant qu’autorevelation dynamique et pathetique l’auto-affection comme essence de l’affectivite le corps l’ipseite du sujet le rapport a l’Autre l’immanence. En conclusion, on fait le point sur la trajectoire parcourue par cette philosophie, partie d’une revelation phenomenologique pour aboutir a une Revelation religieuse. En quoi la rencontre d’Henry avec la verite du christianisme demeure-t-elle de nature philosophique? Penser l’essence de la manifestation permet-il d’emprunter d’autres chemins que ceux qui conduisent au seuil de la foi? On proposera un debut de reponse et quelques perspectives.
