"photonninja" (Clarksville,TN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Mystery of Hope in the Philosophy of Gabriel Marcel 1888-1973: Hope and Homo Viator (Problems in Contemporary Philosophy) (Hardcover)

If you buy this book...you will not be sorry. Dr. Randall's writings and reflections on Marcel are some of the best critiques of a lost art of existentialist philosophy. Having him as an instructor for may years now... for someone to read his reflections on hope in Marcel, one can really sit back and relax in life and the future.
