BE AND HAVE, Etre et avoir, 1935.
Gabriel Marcel, 1889-1973.
This work is divided into two parts. The first, entitled "Being and Having", is the sequel to Diary metaphysical, with the "Outline of a phenomenology of Ter. The second contains three studies on the theme "Faith and Reality." The distinction between Being and Having metaphysical appears in the Journal (March 16, 1923). Have power to dispose, or possess on, but this method involves having the interposition of the body. Furthermore, Marcel highlights the tension that opposes interiority to exteriority in fact to have. Tension between the have and the thing I have. But this tension also manifests itself in what the philosopher calls the tragedy of Ter This is because the body is the reference point Tuesday, but what do I have, somehow, part of me, while not actually part because I can lose what I have, but no longer exist. There is therefore a fundamental ambiguity at the heart of the concept of So Ter, Marcel Ter connects to anxiety, desire, suffering, slavery, death.
However, it is possible to sublimate Take into being, because we should consider not Have to Be as outside, but as a constituent of a way to exist. Thus, this sublimation of Be in Be is possible by modifying the way there. Possession of gross and massive, can be passed to a sort of personal creation. One thing to which we are vitally connected becomes a "matter perpetually renewed a personal creation." Marcel takes the example of the garden for anyone who cultivates, or musical instrument to the interpreter. Then, the object is no longer just possessed: he is like to be sublimated. Becomes extension of interiority. "Where there is pure creation, such as having transcended or will be volatilized in the midst of this creation."
This work is essential to understanding the thinking of Marcel. Has an attempt to explain the fundamental theme of the philosopher's thought.
