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 requires a deep dive into this paradox in order to locate its source and thus realize 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 as his beloved dramatic works. The result is a lodestar for Marcel’s thought in all its uncharted, oceanic immensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eRead with absorption in the pages of this philosopher and you find a primordial image spontaneously arising in the mind: the image of a winding path. This man’s thought is a winding path: here is the original certitude.… We know that the metaphor applies, and applies profoundly, before we know why it applies.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first comprehensive study of Marcel’s thought to be published in the United States, \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Philosophy of Gabriel Marcel \u003c\/em\u003eendures as the introduction \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epar excellence\u003c\/em\u003e to the absorbing and authentic world of Gabriel Marcel—a philosopher for our impersonal age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback:\u003c\/strong\u003e 238pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e978-1952826368\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cluny Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53100031279471,"sku":"978-1952826368","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/5337\/6879\/files\/ProductImages_5.5x8.5--378.jpg?v=1781124638","url":"https:\/\/www.heavenlychristiangifts.com\/products\/the-philosophy-of-gabriel-marcel","provider":"Heavenly Christian Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
