"Michel Henry's work consistently re-imagines the means through which life incarnates or makes manifest to itself the very essence of its being. In Seeing the Invisible Henry extends his philosophy, as material phenomenology, to the aesthetic, reappraising abstract art in terms of affectivity, emotional life and the essential communication that takes place between the community and the artwork at the level of sensibility. Scott Davidson's clear and timely translation provides the reader with both a revolutionary take on twentieth century art and a gateway into the thought of one of the leading French philosophers of the past fifty years." - Dr Michael O'Sullivan, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
