O Mistrio da Encarnao em
Gabriel Marcel
RESUMO
ABSTRACT
Since the context of a critique of modern scientism and rationalism, presenting with an unsystematic
thinking, questioning and wandering, Gabriel Marcel says that philosophy has an arche: the existence of
starting point and reference labor philosophicus. From the question Who am I? comes to the perception
of life (incarnation), which leads us necessarily to an ontological question (mystery of being) and this,
in turn, according to Marcel, reminds us of the transcendent issue (the existence and transcendence).
The Incarnation, according to Marcel, is the central finding of metaphysics, it is the mediation between
self and world and others, is the consciousness of myself in my body and, therefore, crossed an intense
ontological communion (participation). The embodied existence thus requires, first, the question of be-
ing, which leads Marcel to distinguish in relation ontological mystery and problem. In the experience of
mystery, the human being has some requirements: collection, engagement, fidelity, hope and love. The
experience of the mystery of being pervaded by the communion between my self and others, leads to
the assertion of a Absolute: transcendence. Thus, the mystery of the Incarnation, therefore, establishes,
in the philosophical tradition, a new order of questioning the man and the world.
