Marion, Jean‐Luc

Abstract

Abstract Jean‐Luc Marion (born 1946) is one of France's leading Descartes scholars and phenomenologists. He teaches at the Sorbonne and the University of Chicago and is a member of the Académie française. While his early work focuses primarily on Descartes, he has also written extensively in theology and phenomenology ( see Phenomenology, Moral). Ethics is not one of his central concerns; in fact, he thinks that ethics in the traditional sense is no longer possible today. This essay will briefly present Marion's overall philosophical work, then explicate the few explicit remarks he makes about ethics, and finally give some suggestions about what type of ethics might still be possible within the parameters of his phenomenology.
