| Summary: | This study responds to readings of Michel Henry’s eschatology as over-realized through an analysis of his frequently neglected phenomenological aesthetics in Seeing the Invisible: On Kandinsky in light of the theological articulation of his phenomenology of life. It argues for a distinctly unrealized thrust to his program by foregrounding the notion of monumental art and the rootedness of human praxis, artistic and otherwise, in concrete sensible reality. The conclusion suggests that Henry’s project, while theologically problematic, opens a path towards the development of a theological phenomenological cosmology when supplemented. |
