Dr. Alice Von Hildebrand presents a critique of Gabriel Marcel’s work. The Twentieth Century has given birth to a variety of philosophical attempts to escape ideology and make contact with the multiplicity of real things and experiences once more. Gabriel Marcel was a major proponent of getting back to the sources of real existence and real life; of dealing with all phenomena and not some truncated reduction of them to what was ideologically acceptable. Dr. Von Hildebrand gives a sympathetic critique of Marcel’s work and its general relationship to modern philosophy and phenomenology.
