Abstract

The philosophic thought of Gabriel marcel is impossible to categorize. He does indeed employ a phenomenological method of approach to being; and affirms that “today there can be no philosophy worth considering that will not involve an analysis, of a phenomenological type, bearing on the fundamental situation of man.” But his philosophical analysis does not have the character of Husserlian ‘bracketing’ or isolating in eidetic purification. It is an explication of the personal ground of thought, including its relationship to the ‘other’ human or divine, rather than an examination of isolated and purified experiences of consciousness: “By ‘phenomenological analysis’ I mean the analysis of an implicit content of thought, as opposed to a psychological analysis bearing on ‘states’.”
