"The phenomenology of life is the best available path for phenomenology today. Through new readings of two of the most influential French thinkers of the twentieth century-Michel Henry and Paul Ricoeur, Pathos and Praxis: An Integrated Phenomenology of Life shows that their actual debates over the interpretation of Freud and Marx signal two rival approaches to the phenomenology of life. While Henry reveals the phenomenological meaning of life though an inward turn to a pure subjective feeling of being alive, Ricoeur anchors its significance in the reciprocal interaction between the self and the world. But these two alternatives are not necessarily opposed. This book proposes an integrated phenomenology of life to which each thinker makes an important contribution.
