La vie en tant que Vie : Lecture théologique d’une tautologie entre Michel Henry et saint Maxime le Confesseur

Summary/Abstract: Th e phenomenological tautology of life in Michel Henry’s works shows us that the radical concept of self-aff ection, in its own immanence, cannot be described in another way, either by metaphor or analogy for example, but only by that immediate relation like adequacy on itself: “life as life”. Th e reduplication of the fundamental concept in Henry’s last “theological” turn introduced a new Transcendence: the Self-Aff ection of the Absolute Life, the Christian God as Revelation. In this way, we can diversify the tautology of life trying to read it using Saint Maximus the Confessor’s theology: “Life as Life” like the Absolute phenomenological Life of Trinity in Unity; “life as Life” for the creation of the human living by the Living God; “life as life” for the existence of the man, ek-sisting in a world aff ected by the original transgression; “Life as life” for the Incarnation of the Logos of God; “life as Life — 2” for the rebirth of the human living into Christ and His Mystical Body.
