Book Synopsis


Trade Review

"Introduction to a Phenomenology of Life is a major work that recasts phenomenology as a phenomenology of life. In turn, life is investigated in its phenomenological senses, approached through the duality of its intransitive and transitive senses, i.e., being in life (leben) and feeling, having an experience of something (erleben), intertwining subjective life with a radical insertion in the world."—François Raffoul, author of Thinking the Event
