    5 out of 5 stars Intersubjectivity is the answer .......2004-12-08

    There was a time in my life when I read and reread this work. This does not mean that I understood it fully. But the idea of 'intersubjectivity' and that it is through being with and understanding others that we become most truly human is one which had great influence on me. It took me away as I was looking to be taken away from a kind of philosophical solipsism a kind of sense that all should rest only in 'I' and 'I' that would prove upon reflection 'unstable as water'. Marcel is a humane thinker, one who tries to take us from the celebration of Nothingness and Death to the celebration of life in community with others. I doubt that he is read much today in the English- language world, but to my mind he is a very valuable and helpful thinker . A mensch of philosophy.

    5 out of 5 stars A different view than the usual.......1999-11-10

    A brilliant critique of early Existentialism. Marcel offers a very different idea of Existentialism than does the traditional Sartre school. Questionable at points, but indispensable for anyone who is interested in the philosophy. As William Barrett stressed very clearly in his book "Irrational Man", Existentialism is not a Sartre original. It was around in all areas of Europe and in all different religions.

    5 out of 5 stars Penetrating and Original.......1998-11-05

    An important work within the realm of 20th century philosophy. Marcel critiques the existentialism of Sartre, pointing out the many paradoxes and pitfalls, and then offers his own theories on ontology, metaphysics, ethics, and even psychology. It is immediately apparent that Marcel's work is daringly original, and is free from the many shortcomings found within the works of more "academic" philosophers. An independent scholar and dramatist, Marcel often considered his thought "neo-socratic." Never speaking from the pulpit of authority, but joining us in true intellectual (even spiritual) inquiry, Marcel is a philosopher's philosopher. It is unfortunate that Marcel was frequently dismissed as dogmatic, and it is equally as unfortunate that he seldom understood the small plot of common ground he shared with Sartre. In affirming human freedom and responsibility, along with recognizing the fragility and disquietude of human existence, both Gabriel and Jean-Paul had a common vision. Marcel's idea of problem and mystery, in addition to his insights on dualism are essential concepts for anyone seeking to understand 20th century thought. This book serves as a fine introduction.

    Book Description

    This important collection of lectures and essays was regarded by Gabriel Marcel as the best introduction to his thought. Notable for the richness of its analyses and its application of Marcel's "concrete approach" to philosophical problems, Creative Fidelity not only deals with the perennial themes of faith, fidelity, belief, and incarnate being, but also includes chapters on religious tolerance and orthodoxy and an important critical essay on Karl Jaspers.

    2 out of 5 stars Maybe You Had To Have Been There.......2007-06-16

    The reason for this review to assure anyone who reads this book that there are other works by Marcel well worth their time. Creative Fidelity was a real surprise to me: rambling, disjointed, and obviously written for an audience already well familiar with Marcel's concerns. This book appeared to me to be primarily directed at Catholic clerics, with Marcel's focus being to explain his own "take" on questions of mutual interest.

    This book starkly contrasts with Existentialism and with Tragic Wisdom, both of which I highly recommend. They have all the things this book lacks: clarity, coherency, and accessibility. I recommend both of those volumes; I do not recommend this book.
