This important collection of lectures and essays was regarded by
Gabriel Marcel as the best introduction to his thought. Outstanding
in the richness of its analyses and in its application of Marcel's
"concrete approach" to philosophical problems, Creative Fidelity
not only deals with the perennial Marcellian themes of faith,
fidelity, belief, incarnate being, and participation, but includes
chapters on religious tolerance and orthodoxy and an important
critical essay on Karl Jaspers.
Known in this country as a Christian Existentialist, Marcel
preferred to be called a "Neo-Socratic, " a label suggesting the
dialogical, unfinished nature of his speculations. He may best be
described as a Reflective Empiricist.
Born in Paris in 1889, the son of a French minister to
Stockholm, Marcel frequented literary and political milieus,
traveled extensively, and read widely in both German and
Anglo-American philosophy. His best known books are Being and
Having (1935), Man Against Mass Society (1952), and The Decline of
Wisdom (1954).
