Its two volumes are the Gifford lectures which Marcel delivered in Aberdeen  Scotland  in 1949 and 1950. Marcels work fundamentally challenges most of the major positions of the atheistic existentialists (Sartre  Beauvoir  Camus)  especially their belief in an absurd  meaningless  godless universe. These volumes deal with almost all of the major themes of Marcels thought: the nature of philosophy  our broken world  mans deep ontological need for being  i.e.  for permanent eternal values  our incarnate bodily existence  primary and secondary reflection  participation  being in situation  the identity of the human self  intersubjectivity  mystery and problem  faith  hope  and the reality of God  and immortality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45960437628981,"sku":"ByrdShop_189031885X","price":64.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781890318857.jpg?v=1788287044","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-mystery-of-being-volume-i-reflection-and-mystery-gifford-lectures-19491950-9781890318857","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
