Gabriel Marcel was a distinguished French philosopher known for his contributions to Christian existentialism. He explored the struggles individuals encounter in a technologically driven society through a substantial body of work comprising numerous books and plays. Unlike his contemporaries, such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Marcel coined terms like philosophy of existence or neo-Socrateanism to articulate his unique perspective. His acclaimed two-volume publication, The Mystery of Being, established him as a prominent figure in existential philosophy.
