Description: This book is an introduction to French phenomenology in the post - 1945 period. While many of phenomenology's greatest thinkers Husserl Heidegger Sartre and Merleau - Ponty wrote before this period Steven De Lay introduces and assesses the creative and important turn phenomenology took after these figures. He presents a clear and rigorous introduction to the work of relatively unfamiliar and underexplored philosophers including Jean - Louis Chr tien Michel Henry Jean - Yves Lacoste Jean - Luc Marion and others. After an introduction setting out the crucial Husserlian and Heideggerian background to French phenomenology De Lay explores Emmanuel Levinas's ethics as first philosophy Henry's material phenomenology Marion's phenomenology of givenness Lacoste's phenomenology of liturgical man Chr tien's phenomenology of the call Claude Romano's evential hermeneutics and Emmanuel Falque's phenomenology of the borderlands. Starting with the reception of Husserl and Heidegger in France De Lay explains how this phenomenological thought challenges boundaries between philosophy and theology. Taking stock of its promise in light of the legacy it has transformed De Lay concludes with a summary of the field's relevance to theology and analytic philosophy and indicates what the future holds for phenomenology. Phenomenology in France: A Philosophical and Theological Introduction is an excellent resource for all students and scholars of phenomenology and continental philosophy and will also be useful to those in related disciplines such as theology literature and French studies.
