Abstract

Recurring tone in Gabriel Marcel’s reflections, the distinction between “problem” and “mystery” undoubtedly assumes a singular tenor. What the author points out in this agency is the proper statute of philosophy, especially at a time when there is a remarkable prestige of science as paradigmatic discourse, par excellence. The main specificity of this model is that it faces “problems” and “solutions” in a strictly methodological and therefore, impartially abstract ambit. Although it does not refute the legitimacy of science and its peculiar procedure, the philosophical doing has a diverse nature, adopting, therefore, a more “interrogative” attitude than pragmatically “resolutive”. It is in this direction that epistemic abstractionism impelled by its rhetorical force imposes itself as a misplaced question when it comes to, in concreto, essentially philosophical questions. These, in fact, move in a deeper level of experience, that is, of the “mystery” envisaged as a horizon, by definition, “meta-problematic” from where the most disturbing “enigmas” are excited.
