La inquietud manifiestaentre la vida absoluta y las vidas finitas a partir de Michel Henry

Abstract

This thesis is a phenomenological and programmatic investigation in the life through inquietude. I have embarked on this quest using the works of a French phenomenologist, Michel Henry as a navigator. The principal theme of this investigation is the Life, with capital L, the most prominent and absolute. It only appears in front of our eyes when we are aware of our own life and the lives of others in our finiteness and our flesh. It means our own life is absolute because its finiteness is lived in the moments and the expectations of others in this flesh. The study of time and affections is crucial to develop the principal intuition: manifested inquietude. I would like to call the relation between time and affections the intermediate situation after having studied about the body with Henry and Maine de Biran and time with Edmund Husserl and Henry. The reach and limit of time in the investigation comes up through a break and maladjustment of life. It is proposed with some interpretations of Ortega, Unamuno and Levinas. When we read them, we come to see that inquietude, manifested in affections, shows our time presents itself as if it escapes from us. We also notice that each one of us is pulled by quasi-no-time in our life, and it reveals new senses of our absolute life in finiteness. From this point, we can mention these new senses as the manifestation of Secret in our material basis always coming up in our life.
