Abstract

This essay explores some resources Gabriel Marcel offers for describing and cultivating an attuned, responsive relationship to place. Taking a brief passage in “An Outline of a Concrete Philosophy” as its departure point, it explores how some of Marcel‟s key concepts—ontological exigence, disponibilité and creative fidelity— might be reinterpreted in this regard. It also draws on writings about place by some Marcelian kindred spirits, namely Henry Bugbee, Walker Percy, William Desmond, and Wendell Berry.
