Gabriel Marcel (1889-1973), the first French existentialist and
phenomenologist, was a world-class Catholic philosopher, an
accomplished playwright, drama critic and musician. He wrote
brilliantly about many of the classic existential themes associated
with Sartre, Heidegger, Jaspers and Buber prior to the publication
of their main works. Marcel regarded himself as a homo viator, a
spiritual wanderer: If man is essentially a voyager, it is because
he is en route . . . towards an end which one can say at once and
contradictorily that he sees and does not see. As a self-described
philosopher of the threshold and an awakener, his stated goal was
to shed some light on the nature of spiritual reality, those
moments when one experiences an upsurge of the love of life. In
this book, Marcus joins the best of Marcellian and psychoanalytic
insights to help the reader develop an inner sensibility that is
more receptive, responsive and responsible to the transforming
sacred presences that grace everyday life, such as are experienced
in selfless love, hoping beyond hope, and maintaining faith in the
goodness of the world despite its harsh challenges. Whether one is
reading Re-finding God during Chemo-therapy, Maintaining Personal
Dignity in the Face of the Mass Society, On Fidelity and Betrayal
in Love Relationships or The Kiss, Marcus, with the help of his two
spiritual masters, Marcel and Freud, points the reader in the
direction of a greater everyday sacred attunement to the eternal
presences that life mysteriously reveals to those with a discerning
eye and an open heart."
