RE: Os "Existencialistas": Parte 1 - Gabriel Marcel - O Neo-socrático
Marcel makes a clear distinction between the "ontological" world and the "transcendent" world: "in the act of transcendence, opposite to the ontological, my connection with God is realized. And it is in relation to this connection that my freedom affirms and defines itself."
Thanks a lot @sergey44 for the rich, enlightened and stunning comment.
I confess that in my youth I followed the atheistic existentialism, and I read all the arguments of the religious existentialists, but I always stopped when they argue with transcendence and outside superpowers, and that my knowledge about their religious paradigms, I only read the perspective of the agnostics and atheists about this matter.
In Marcel, I stopped reading him after he tried to connect the Self with a Supreme Self as a Fate that kills our freedom of choice, but I stick to the level that I can be myself and build my own destiny.
When I was young I decided that I had limited memory, and I would never waste it with transcendent facts that I can't use and shows that I'm being used, by a Supreme Being that is only a Ghost history implemented in their minds.
Anyway, I could have obliterated these religious authors, but I decided that I would talk about them but exposing my personal selfish criticism, and my short real reading knowledge, only based in third part views, when any kind of author talks about Gods.
That's the kind of challenging comments that I really like.
Thank's
Cheers my friend.
PS: I hope I don't hurt people's feelings about this because I'm always ready to discuss even the subjects I hate, because it amplifies my personal knowledge. heheh
