- Title
LA VIE EN TANT QUE VIE: LECTURE THÉOLOGIQUE D'UNE TAUTOLOGIE, ENTRE MICHEL HENRY ET SAINT MAXIME LE CONFESSEUR.
- Authors
Podar, Ovidiu-Sorin
- Abstract
The phenomenological tautology of life in Michel Henry's works shows us that the radical concept of self-affection, in its own immanence, cannot be described in another way, either by metaphor or analogy for example, but only by that immediate relation like adequacy on itself: "life as life". The reduplication of the fundamental concept in Henry's last "theological" turn introduced a new Transcendence: the Self-Affection of the Absolute Life, the Christian God as Revelation. In this way, we can diversify the tautology of life trying to read it using Saint Maximus the Confessor's theology: "Life as Life" like the Absolute phenomenological Life of Trinity in Unity; "life as Life" for the creation of the human living by the Living God; "life as life" for the existence of the man, ek-sisting in a world affected by the original transgression; "Life as life" for the Incarnation of the Logos of God; "life as Life - 2" for the rebirth of the human living into Christ and His Mystical Body.
