Talk:Gabriel Marcel

message: I added a fact check to the assertion that Marcel coined the word "existentialism."  I have always heard that the word was coined by either Sartre, or by the media and that Sartre applied it to his own philosophy.

thread_title:  Coined "Existentialism"? 

message: I wrote the last two sections, above, what seems like years ago. Nobody has discussed what I wrote, so I'm going to be bold, take ownership of this article, and try to improve it a bit.
Note, I have no clue about advanced style, so feel free to come in and make this page look better. The 3 footnotes I added are my first 3 ever at Wikipedia.
If you have a problem with what I've done and want to talk about it, feel free to go to my talk page. It's probably the only way you'll be able to get my attention. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 23:33, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I think you should re-think about me entries, especially about the Mystery og Being of Marcel and enrich your text in Wikipedia about Marcel. Thanks!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.49.217.61 (talk) 18:25, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, you have to prove that your information is relevant, correct, properly cited in notable publications, and does not indicate a conflict-of-interest on your part.  Then, we can allow the information to be included.  Thank you. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 18:57, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Marcel is dead. Where is the conflict of interest that you see? AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 17:14, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

text: Hi, I've contributed to this article in the past, and I appreciate your effort, anon. However, I haven't re-added it because... well... it just doesn't come across as encyclopedic, or accessible to the layman. If you can provide explanations for all the terminology you use, and explain why it's notable, only using third-party sources (i.e., no synthesis on your part), and in language accessible to laymen, it would be a great and encyclopedic addition to the article. It's pathetic that the #4 thinker in the Existentialist canon (after Kierkegaard, Sartre and Camus) has such a skinny article, and while I'm not up to the task of improving it, I hope you can go ahead on this.

message: This says that Marcel was born and died in Paris; would it not be more succinct to say "Marcel was born and died in Paris"?Carltonio (talk) 21:16, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Repetition of word "in"

message: This article says that Kierkegaard was the founder of Christian existentialism. I wonder whether it should say "unintentional founder". I have always understood that during his fairly short life, Kierkegaard was little known outside of his native Denmark; only when his writings were translated into German after the First World War did his writings, thanks to philosophers such as Karl Jaspers, pave the way for existentialism.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The dates in the list of works in English seem mostly (or entirely?) those of the translating rather than the writing, which is a bit confusing and will make updating complicated. I think I'd rather see entries like:
*1933 Le Monde cassé suivi de Position et approches concrètes du mystère ontologique. Translated by Katharine Rose Hanley: Gabriel Marcel's Perspectives on The Broken World: The Broken World, a Four-Act Play, Followed by Concrete Approaches to Investigating the Ontological Mystery (Milwaukee: Marquette University Press 1998)
or, if anglophone reception is really the whole point:
*1998 Gabriel Marcel's Perspectives on The Broken World: The Broken World, a Four-Act Play, Followed by Concrete Approaches to Investigating the Ontological Mystery [Le Monde cassé, suivi de Position et approches concrètes du mystère ontologique, 1933] translated by Katharine Rose Hanley (Milwaukee: Marquette University Press)
