What does Beckett say about the phenomenology of natural laws, that is to say about the way they are experienced by the human subject ? In Paul Valery’s The Graveyard by the Sea, human law is absorbed by natural law, constant and grave. In Happy Days, Beckett makes us feel that this absorption is a gradual process, without brutality, without rebellion : human law imperceptibly ‘surrenders’ to natural law. Beckett allows us to perceive a complex feeling, hard to define, and even to name : this is one of the contributions literature makes to philosophical thought.
