- Title
Seeing the Invisible, Feeling the Visible Seeing the Invisible, Feeling the Visible : Michel Henry on Aesthetics and Abstraction.
- Authors
Zordan, Davide
- Abstract
The article examines the ways in which aesthetics can inform religious experience through an analysis of phenomenological thought of philosopher Michel Henry in regards to the aesthetic nature of transcendental experience. Particular focus is given to Henry's engagement with the art theory of painter Wassily Kandinsky pertaining to the connection between observer sensation and abstraction. The author argues that Henry's phenomenological stance on art demonstrates the importance of human senses and sensibility to religious experience.
