Abstract

In dialogue with Michel Henry's phenomenology of life, this study aims to identify how the manifestation of the transcendent being of God occurs in the historical immanence of the world. Rejecting the Greek split between the transcendence of essence and the immanence of existence, the French author considers that each man means the self-giving of absolute Life. His monism reduces the manifestation of God to the immanent and ontological plane of the pure and subjective Life of the flesh, in distinction from the objective but illusory appearance of molecular and organic corporeity. Let us try to identify whether this phenomenological ontology does not contain a Gnostic dualism due to the fact that it does not consider the cosmos as a manifestation of the Absolute and does not consider corporeality in the redemptive plan of eschatological fulfillment.
