FIDELITY AND AVAILABILITY Flashcards
is one of existentialist philosophers who emphasized the role and value of intersubjective (interpersonal) relation
GABRIEL MARCEL
GABRIEL MARCEL is more known to the notion of ___________
‘Creative Fidelity’
the intersubjective relation according to marcel involves these four
fidelity,
presence,
hope and
availability
• faithfulness • loyalty • dependability • commitment • trustworthiness what character is this?
FIDELITY
what happens to fidelity if it is based on CONSTANCY
then it is simply performing one’s duty or obligation
ergo, such fidelity may be open to suspicion
FIDELITY is not simply based on the performance of duty
what happens to fidelity if it is based on PRESENCE
then it means felt presence
ergo, such fidelity transcends physical existence
GENUINE FIDELITY is based on spontaneity, not coercive
makes an act be done in spur of the moment, makes us free, thus it is characterized by freedom
SPONTANEITY
for Marcel, FIDELITY is what
based on one’s inner disposition;
goes beyond duty
• perseverance • steadfastness • firmness • consistency • dependability what character is this?
CONSTANCY
a character or trait where we see the relationship as a form of duty; therefore, we have to show commitment and be consistent
CONSTANCY
this trait is not just or not about physical presence, but making the other feel your presence
PERSEVERANCE
an idea or a statement that seems self-contradictory but in reality, expresses a possible truth
PARADOX
explain the paradox of fidelity
we do things in a spontaneous way to the other, and yet we somehow feel obligated to do that thing to that other person
it means commitment or making a promise
CREATIVE FIDELITY
CREATIVE FIDELITY is based on 2 acts:
the person’s own initiative
the response of the other person
