Inverso Hernán Gabriel, « BEYOND THE GREEK GNOSIS. MICHEL HENRY AND THE STOICISM REGARDING THE AFFECTIVITY, THE LIFE AND THE COMMUNITY », Aufklärung. Revista de Filosofia, ID : 10670/1.e2k4gf
"In the context of his criticism of Husserlian phenomenology Michel Henry characterizes the errors of the hetero-affective perspective referring to its origins in the tradition. This tradition is linked with “greek gnosis” and its commitment to rationality seen as understanding of “objects at a distance”. The revision of this category reveals, however, that there are in Greek currents of thought that appeal to self-affection and immanence in order to account for elements that exceed the ek-static dimension. In this work we study the henryan proposal with the aim of showing its contact with stoicism, especially through Hierocles' theory about oikeiosis. This way will suggest that between both approaches there is a structural compatibility that makes possible to use similar hermeneutical keys to explain the coexistence of explanatory mechanisms that appeal to self-affective and hetero-affective elements in a coherent realm."
