By François-David Sebbah,Stephen Barker

In exploring the character of extra relative to a phenomenology of the restrict, Testing the restrict claims that phenomenology itself is an exploration of extra. What does it suggest that "the self" is "given"? should still we see it as originary; or fairly, in what method is the self engendered from textual practices that transgress—or hover round and for this reason within—the threshold of phenomenologial discourse? this is often the 1st ebook to incorporate Michel Henry in a triangulation with Derrida and Levinas and the 1st to critique Levinas at the foundation of his interpolation of philosophy and faith. Sebbah claims that the textual origins of phenomenology ascertain, of their temporal rhythms, the character of the subjectivation on which they concentration. He situates those issues in the broader photograph of the kingdom of up to date French phenomenology (chiefly the legacy of Merleau-Ponty), so that it will exhibit that those 3 thinkers proportion a definite "family resemblance," the id of which unearths anything in regards to the lines of different phenomenological households. it truly is by way of trying out the restrict in the context of conventional phenomenological matters in regards to the visual appeal of subjectivity and ipseity that Derrida, Henry, and Levinas considerably think again phenomenology and that French phenomenology assumes its current form.
