A different view than the usual,
By A Customer
This review is from: Philosophy Of Existentialism (Paperback)
A brilliant critique of early Existentialism. Marcel offers a very different idea of Existentialism than does the traditional Sartre school. Questionable at points, but indispensable for anyone who is interested in the philosophy. As William Barrett stressed very clearly in his book "Irrational Man", Existentialism is not a Sartre original. It was around in all areas of Europe and in all different religions.

Penetrating and Original,
By A Customer
This review is from: Philosophy Of Existentialism (Paperback)
An important work within the realm of 20th century philosophy. Marcel critiques the existentialism of Sartre, pointing out the many paradoxes and pitfalls, and then offers his own theories on ontology, metaphysics, ethics, and even psychology. It is immediately apparent that Marcel's work is daringly original, and is free from the many shortcomings found within the works of more "academic" philosophers. An independent scholar and dramatist, Marcel often considered his thought "neo-socratic." Never speaking from the pulpit of authority, but joining us in true intellectual (even spiritual) inquiry, Marcel is a philosopher's philosopher. It is unfortunate that Marcel was frequently dismissed as dogmatic, and it is equally as unfortunate that he seldom understood the small plot of common ground he shared with Sartre. In affirming human freedom and responsibility, along with recognizing the fragility and disquietude of human existence, both Gabriel and Jean-Paul had a common vision. Marcel's idea of problem and mystery, in addition to his insights on dualism are essential concepts for anyone seeking to understand 20th century thought. This book serves as a fine introduction.
