Abstract

Existentialism is usually considered to be a philosophy of the individual self-affirmation. However, the existential philosophy of Gabriel Marcel stresses belonging (participation) and community as the core concepts to understand human existence. Human existence belongs to the world, to other fellow beings, to Being itself and to the Transcendent. By stressing belonging, Marcel gives a radical new perspective on freedom and metaphysics, for being can only be welcomed, and the whole dynamics of freedom is about answering to the Other"™s calling. This peculiar kind of existentialism, thus, can play a major role today in the philosophical debate, mainly by avoiding the dialectical opposition between the Self and the Other. Marcel"™s philosophy offers some central insights on the meaning of the word "with", and, thus, questions our understanding of community and being-with.
