The Philosophy of Gabriel Marcel - 2083

A paradox resides at the heart of the philosophy of Gabriel Marcel. That paradox, writes Kenneth T. Gallagher, is this: “Elusiveness is an essential constituent of his thought, and any exposition which sought to eliminate it would be self-defeating.” Any competent and coherent study of Marcel’s thought thus requires a deep dive into this paradox in order to access its meaning. In these pages, Gallagher brings that source to light with a patient progression through the catalog of themes, ideas, and images in Marcel’s philosophy as well his beloved dramatic works. The result is a lodestar for Marcel’s thought in all its uncharted, oceanic immensity. Originally published in 1962 as the first comprehensive study of Marcel’s thought to be published in the United States, The Philosophy of Gabriel Marcel endures as the introduction par excellence to the absorbing and authentic world of Marcel—a philosopher for our impersonal age.
