{"product_id":"seeing-the-invisible-michel-henry-9781847064479","title":"Seeing the Invisible: On Kandinsky","description":"Michel Henry was one of the leading French philosophers of the twentieth century. His numerous works of philosophy are all organized around the theme of life. In contrast to the scientific understanding of life as a biological process, Henry's philosophy develops a conception of life as an immediate feeling of one's own living. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSeeing the Invisible\u003c\/i\u003e marks Henry's most sustained engagement in the field of aesthetics. Through an analysis of the life and works of Wassily Kandinsky, Henry uncovers the philosophical significance of Kandinsky's revolution in painting: that abstract art reveals the invisible essence of life. Henry shows that Kandinsky separates color and line from the constraints of visible form and, in so doing, conveys the invisible intensity of life. More than just a study of art history, this book presents Kandinsky as an artist who is engaged in the project of painting the invisible and thus offers invaluable methodological clues for Henry's own phenomenology of the invisible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michel Henry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1847064477\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847064479\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continuum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.10w x 0.50d","brand":"Michel Henry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991154032895,"sku":"9781847064479","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3a44557d-7aa3-40dc-b797-7d5e70f1520a.jpg?v=1683308743","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/seeing-the-invisible-michel-henry-9781847064479","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
