The first and only collection of essays honoring the work of Rudolf Bernet, this volume covers three themes: his phenomenological views on life, its relation to subjectivity, experiences and consciousness, and both as the basis of original reflections on art.

This book contains essays written by eminent phenomenologists & scholars closely related to R. Bernet, a person and a philosopher (colleagues, friends and collaborators, former students). The intellectual and worldwide authority of R. Bernet's work is well represented by the list of contributors, as well as by the content of their chapters. In a sense, this volume is a good indication of the importance of Bernet's own books, articles and classes.
The editors have chosen to concentrate the contributions on what could be estimated to be one of the three major themes of his philosophical itinerary: life, seen from a phenomenological point of view, its relation to subjectivity, experiences and consciousness, and both seen as the ground for an original reflection on art (paintings).

This is the first and the only essay collection dedicated to the work of Rudolf Bernet Examines life and its relation to subjectivity, experience and consciousness, from a phenomenological viewpoint The contributors are all leading phenomenologists with close personal and professional connections to Bernet
