Abstract
The fundamental theme of the study is the phenomenology of the body in the works of the French philosopher Michel Henry (1922-2002). In first chapter author investigates phenomenological approach of this remarkable thinker by the detailed confrontation of his methodology of "pure phenomenalisation" with so-called "classical" phenomenology, both with the intentional phenomenology of Edmund Husserl and with the phenomenological ontology of Martin Heidegger.
In second chapter (which is dedicated to the concept of the corporality) author at first introduces unfairly forgotten french philosopher Maine de Biran, further gives an account of Henry's confrontation with philosophy of the corporality of Condillac, Husserl and Merleau-Ponty, and consequently explains his own phenomenology of the body that is to say his impressive description of two body systems formed by three modality of the body (absolut, organic, objective or physical). At the close of this chapter author goes into the matter of "unitary theory of the body" which is presented as Henry's original contribution to the discussion about problems of "body scheme".
Finally, he deals with Henry's utterly radical solution of the question of "relation-to an other", introduces the manifestation of the invisible condition of intersubjectivity or of such a "co-being" which draws its justification and strenght in "pathetic" co-experienced Life, in this instance always acting as an ontological as well as phenomenological presupposition of "relation-to as such".
