Has anyone here read Emmanuel Mounier?I’m getting into personalist and Christian existential philosophy lately.(like Gabriel Marcel, Paul Ludwig Landsberg, mounier) And I must confess I’m very intrigued.Does anyone have some suggestions on personalism and Christian existential philosophy? I have read: problematic man - GabrielMoral problem of suicide - LandsbergPersonalism - mounier (reading currently)Man against mass society - Gabriel
>>24963201Is he the Grand Estate guy?
>>24964025No, that’s mounier.
>>24964025That's Alain-Fournier, Le Grand Meaulnes
>>24963201I read him recently. In fact it was the last book I completed this year. I know Borden Parker Bowne and Dietrich Von Hildebrand are two othersRight here is my review of the Mounier bookhttps://adolfsbookreviews.substack.com/p/personalism-by-emmanuel-mounier
>>24963201Oh and Man Against Mass Society is great too!
>>24964821Nice review. I haven’t finished personalism, yet. But I’m very impressed by mounier’s clear and passionate style. His life also reflects a principled man. I respect that.
>>24964821Have you heard of Peter Wust?He hasn’t been translated into English, sadly. But if can read German, I can recommend “Ungewissheit und Wagnis“. It’s more on the existential side, but very intriguing.
>>24964898OK ill keep that in mind
>>24963201OP, you'll enjoy Mounier's "Existentialist Philosophies - An Introduction" per the names you have listed. It's a short and rewarding read.Personally, and to answer your question, I was fortunate enough to find him in a local library among other early 20th century French philosophers, now forgotten (Maritain, Sertillanges)
>>24965247I still have to read my Maritain books i bought a long time ago.
>>24964807my bad
>>24965327Maritain and sertillanges are flying around on my bookshelf, too.
