Time in the Philosophy of Gabriel Marcel

Gabriel Marcel (1889-1973) stands outside the traditional canon of twentieth-century French philosophers. Where he is not simply forgotten or overlooked, he is dismissed as a ‘relentlessly unsystematic’ thinker, or, following Jean-Paul Sartre’s lead, labelled a ‘Christian existentialist’ — a label that avoids consideration of Marcel’s work on its own terms. How is one to appreciate Marcel’s contribution, especially when his œuvre appears to be at odds with philosophical convention? Helen Tattam proposes a range of readings, as opposed to one single interpretation: a series of departures or explorations that bring Marcel's work into contact with critical partners such as Henri Bergson, Paul Ricœur and Emmanuel Lévinas and offer insights into a host of twentieth-century philosophical shifts concerning time, the subject, the other, ethics, and religion.

Helen Tattam’s ambitious study is an impressively lucid account of Marcel’s engagement with the problem of time and lived experience, and is her first monograph since the award of her doctorate from the University of Nottingham.

Reviews:

‘Helen Tattam’s Time in the Philosophy of Gabriel Marcel deserves to be read not only by those who find insight and inspiration in Marcel’s work, but by all those interested in the question of time as well as the development of modern French philosophy.’ — Geoffrey Karabin, Modern Language Review 109, 2014, 1089-90 (full text online)
‘Tattam's book provides an excellent introduction to Marcel’s thought.’ — Thomas Pavel, French Studies 68, 2014, 121-22
