He is still known as a Christian existentialist although he later rejected that label. His father was a non-practicing Catholic; his mother's family was Jewish. Since his mother died when Marcel was a very young child, his maternal aunt raised him--at some point she converted to a liberal form of Protestantism. From this eclectic background, Marcel himself eventually converted to Catholicism as a mature man and thinker. The basic outline of his philosophy had already been set before his conversion. This book discusses five themes found in Marcel's essays collected in the book \u003ci\u003eThe Philosophy of Existence\u003c\/i\u003e published in English in 1948 (a reprint is available in the Kindle library). The themes discussed in my book include testimony, transcendence, the onlooker versus the witness, creative receptivity, and transmutation into a gift.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Oswald Sobrino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8372875812\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798372875814\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.06d","brand":"Oswald Sobrino","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44311247225087,"sku":"9798372875814","price":5.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ff275fc5-088e-4899-a5b1-fbfc5e1218e9.jpg?v=1695721826","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/5-lessons-from-gabriel-marcel-oswald-sobrino-9798372875814","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
