ABSTRACT:
This article examines the overlap and extensive parallels between aesthetic and religious dimensions in three contemporary phenomenologists: Michel Henry, Jean-Luc Marion, and Richard Kearney. It focuses especially on their discussions of icons as the locus of this intersection between art and religion, examining the role these examples play for their respective analyses of art. The article concludes with a brief critique of the structural parallels between aesthetic and religious experience assumed in these treatments and in French phenomenology more broadly.
