The Mystery of Being contains the most systematic exposition of the
philosophical thought of Gabriel Marcel, a convert to Catholicism
and the most distinguished twentieth-century exponent of Christian
existentialism. Its two volumes are the Gifford lectures which
Marcel delivered in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1949 and 1950. Marcel's
work fundamentally challenges most of the major positions of the
atheistic existentialists (Sartre, Beauvoir, Camus), especially
their belief in an absurd, meaningless, godless universe.
These volumes deal with almost all of the major themes of
Marcel's thought: the nature of philosophy, our broken world, man's
deep ontological need for being, i.e., for permanent eternal
values, our incarnate bodily existence, primary and secondary
reflection, participation, being in situation, the identity of the
human self, intersubjectivity, mystery and problem, faith, hope,
and the reality of God, and immortality.
