Jean-Luc Marion b. 1946
Jean-Luc Marion (born 1946) is a French philosopher of the Contemporary era, associated with Phenomenology, Christian Philosophy, and Continental Philosophy.
Jean-Luc Marion is a French philosopher and theologian, a major figure in contemporary phenomenology, and a leading interpreter of Descartes. His God Without Being challenged the equation of God with metaphysical being and proposed that the divine name escapes ontology, opening instead onto love and gift. Reduction and Givenness and Being Given developed a phenomenology of givenness and the saturated phenomenon, in which intuition exceeds the concepts that aim to contain it, while The Erotic Phenomenon offered a phenomenological treatise on love, asking whether eros, rather than knowledge, is first philosophy.
