“Elsewehre” and Givenness. The Last Jean-Luc Marion

Abstract

This article is based on the concrete cases that Jean- Luc Marion gives as examples for the under-standing of saturated phenomena, which in the last part of the French author’s work are more radically evalu-ated regarding the “subject” implication in its living experience. So, the “phenomena of revelation” arise. From the concrete study of Baudelaire and M. Proust texts, we discover in the Last Marion a more deter-mined commitment to an active and positive role in the “subject” procedure, not only regarding phenomena manifestation, but also their givenness as such. In the Conclusion, we advance a thesis that will still have to wait to come into effect in Marion’s ongoing work.
