This edition of Marcel’s inspiring Homo Viator has been updated
to includle fifty pages of new materials available for the first
time in English, making this the first English-language edition to
conform to the standard French edition. Here, Christianity’s
foremost existentialist of the twentieth century gives us a
prodigious personal insight on ‘man on the way’ that will
reinforce and commend our own pilgrimages in hope. “Homo Viator
– “Homo Viator – or as Marcel calls him, ‘itinerate man’
– is an outstanding example of the philosophy concerned, not with
technical problems, but with the urgent problems of man. Marcel
talks to our condition, emphasizing our urgent need of hope, thus
discovering beyond the lack of stability the values on which we may
depend.  “A subtle mind, a dramatist as well as a
philosopher, close to the texture of human experience, he goes far
beyond current platitudes to show that our Western tradition
contains living truths that are as essential to our contemporary
life as they were to our ancestors when they discovered them.â€
– Eliseo Vivas “The theme of Marcel’s Homo Viator is close to
the center of all preoccupations: man in his pilgrim condition.
With great virtuosity in the use of his own philosophical method,
he probes into interpersonal relations and the threat to ethical
values. Marcel excels here in his concrete analyses of the attitude
of hope, the family community in its temporal and supratemporal
aspects, and the forgotten virtue of personal fidelity.†–
James Collins Â
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).
Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the

expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable,
high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

The publication of this translation of Gabriel Marcel's
autobiography, En chemin, vers quel eveil? is timely because of the
renewed relevance and importance of his life and work to the
postmodern situation. The relation of his autobiography to his
productive projects is clearly tied to the unifying thread of
creativity, which, as the primary dimension of the mystery of
being, gives rise to his music, drama, and philosophical
reflection. This autobiography fosters the retrieval of the sense
of the mystery of being, thus reorienting philosophy as an
awakening of the creativity at the heart of this sense of being.
His narrative is a serious and creative interpretation of the
unified sense of his life and work.
