The Problem of Immanence in Michel Henry. A transcendental reading based on his analysis of feelings

Some scholars allege that Michel Henry's phenomenology of immanence threatens to undermine the singularity of the subject and the phenomenological evidence of the world. In this article I argue that such critiques must be qualified. To this end, I address Henry's analyses of feelings in order to show that his goal is not to reduce phenomenality to a premundane isolated core, but rather to describe the transcendental conditions whereby we are in fact affective beings in a necessarily emotionally attuned world.
