Introduction to a Phenomenology of Life
«
"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

Originally published in French (Introduction a une phenomenologie de la vie) Introduction to a Phenomenology of Life first defines the problem of life phenomenologically, then studies the failures of the phenomenological movement to adequately think about life, and finally elaborates a new, original, and productive approach to the problem.
Combining original interpretations and expert readings of philosophers such as Heidegger, Henry, Bergson, and Merleau-Ponty, Barbaras offers a powerful and important contribution to phenomenology and continental thought.
