Marcel, Girard, Bakhtin - The Return of Conversion (Paperback)

This book is about the human disruption and restlessness in the modern world and the way in which three important 20th century thinkers - Gabriel Marcel, Rene Girard and Mikhail Bakhtin - dealt with the subject. Although all three emerged from different backgrounds they produced remarkably parallel philosophies that centered on the human condition and pointed out the need for « conversion. The first part of the book elaborates Gabriel Marcel's thought and the relationship between religion and the human quest for personal and transpersonal harmony. Further chapters provide surveys on the philosophies of « conversion of Girard, Bakhtin and Rousseau. The book is a contribution to the discussion about human religious consciousness.
