Interventions: Words of Christ
Michel Henry, Christina M. Gschwandtner, Jean-Yves LacostePaperback 2012-05-10
Publisher Description
In Words of Christ Michel Henry, an important French philosopher, asks how Christ can be both human and divine. Also, how can we as humans experience Christ's humanity and divinity through his words? Are we able to recognize certain experiences or words as divine? How do divine words differ from human words? Henry approaches these questions from the angle of material phenomenology the study of reality as we experience it. Startling possibilities and further questions emerge as Henry systematically explores these enigmas. For example, do divine phenomena possess their own kind of phenomenality, and do we have access to this other realm? Henry's perspective on Christ's words here translated into English for the first time is highly original and interdisciplinary in nature, in keeping with other volumes of the Interventions series. This was Henry's last published work before his death in 2002.
