| Summary: | This paper deals with a research hypothesis tying the legacy of German idealism to the first foundation of Michel Henry’s "phenomenology of life". Based on a series of archive documents, the paper reconstitutes the hermeneutical horizon in contrast with which the young Henry (1946-1963) defined his conception of phenomenology, philosophy, and religion, i.e., the French existential-Hegelian debate (Wahl, Kojève). The reconstitution of this dialogue between the young Henry and the French Hegelianism of the 20th century will provide the theoretical framework for the analysis of the "religious attitude" in Henry’s philosophy and in his attempt to rethink the transcendental connection between phenomenality and (philosophical) discourse. |
