Abstract

MARTINS, Florinda. The sense and the imagination, pain and suffering phenomenology: Michel Henry/Jean-Luc Marion. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2008, vol.8, n.2. ISSN 1808-4281.

The problem brought by Agustin Serrano de Haro to the Luso-Brazilian conference of phenomenology - Forma el dolor parte del mundo da vida? Pro y contra Michel Henry? - implies two phenomenological readings of pain: one places pain in the “saturated” phenomena, referring it as irreducible to the senses as a whole (Jean-Luc Marion); the other considers pain as pathos revealing itself in its own immediacy (Michel Henry). I’m trying to demonstrate that the formulation «pro y contra Michel Henry?» is raised by a forgery of the phenomenology of affection; a forgery recognized by Marion himself when he admits that the phenomenology of the senses, in Henri, is determining for body issues (2007); this contrasts with Marion’s own theory of the senses as a saturated phenomenon. I will further show how phenomenology of the senses is inscribed in a phenomenological future which might be ours”.

Keywords : Phenomenology; Suffering; Imagination; Pain; Affection.
