Gabriel Marcel

And I think that's how the lineage is handed on.

There's something about her in relation to Gabriel Marcel that we did in another season.

So Gabriel Marcel started life as a philosopher and then through his deep philosophical thinking came upon this boundaryless experience of God and joined the Catholic Church because he felt like...

The church was a place that talked about this.

And she's almost the reverse.

It remains an act of imagination that never has to touch reality.

It keeps God or the divine at a distance, treating it as what the French philosopher and playwright, Gabriel Marcel, called a problem, something separate from ourselves which we can lay siege to and reduce.

But God or the divine is not a problem to be solved.

It is a mystery, and a mystery, Marcel said, is something in which I am myself involved, a sphere where the distinction between what is in me and what is before me loses its meaning.

The philosopher Gabriel Marcel offers the antidote to a grotesque new ideology.

Don't fix existence, be open to it.

In 2021, while working from home at my corporate law gig, I became obsessed with napping.

Part of the reason it's difficult for me is because it depends on which French existentialist you ask.

So if you ask someone who's much less discussed, like Gabriel Marcel, he says that he published the first existentialist article in 1925, which was on existence and objectivity.

And what's at stake in this debate depends on who you ask.

But for Sartre, the slogan does good work.
