Language: English. Weight: 18.3 ounces. Hardback with DJ. Contains Marcel's Metaphysical Journal, 1932-1943, the text of two conferences, one on the general characteristics of his philosophy, the other on presence and immortality, and a fragment of a play which has a bearing on his metaphysical journal. Presence and Immortality brings Marce's philosophy to light as a search, "a finding one's way, " an endeavor which achieves a profound unity despite the seemingly haphazard nature of its process. The diary excerptsMetaphysical Journalsoffer a broad overview of the central features of Marcel's thought and serve as the backdrop for the title essay, which takes up a problem central to the human experience: the death of a loved one. The volume's concluding element, the unfinished play entitled The Unfathomable, emphasizes the profound connection between drama and philosophy in the mind of Marcel. Through its series of introspective, impressionistic reflections on life and death, Presence and Immortality offers significant insight into the multiform themes and variations of Marcel's philosophy. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 284 pages; Not Inscribed or Signed by Author.
