Our thesis goes on an investigation of the influence of Kierkegaard in the phenomenology of Michel Henry. It is mainly based on the archives of The essence of manifestation, the thesis that Michel Henry defended in 1964. The main claim of our research is to say that the ontology of subjectivity is a genuine thought of existence that participate to what Frederic Worms used to call the « moment » of existence in the French philosophy of the 20th century. We explore three research fields in the problem of existence considered as an ontology of subjectivity. 1/ the idea that the “originary sphere of existence” is grounded on an “absolute relation to the absolute”. 2/ That the kierkegaardian theory of the loss of freedom underlies the “monist concept of existence”. 3/ There is a genuine paradoxology in the ontological problematic which is expressed in Henry’s theory of time and of the body.
