'''Jean-Luc Marion''' (born 3 July 1946) is a French [[Biography:Philosopher|philosopher]] and Roman Catholic [[Religion:Theology|theologian]]. Marion is a former student of [[Biography:Jacques Derrida|Jacques Derrida]] whose work is informed by [[Religion:Patristics|patristic]] and [[Religion:Mystical theology|mystical theology]], [[Philosophy:Phenomenology|phenomenology]], and [[Philosophy:Modern philosophy|modern philosophy]].<ref name="Horner.2C_Robyn_2005">Horner 2005.</ref> Much of his academic work has dealt with Descartes and phenomenologists like [[Biography:Martin Heidegger|Martin Heidegger]] and [[Biography:Edmund Husserl|Edmund Husserl]], but also religion. ''God Without Being'', for example, is concerned predominantly with an analysis of idolatry, a theme strongly linked in Marion's work with [[Philosophy:Love|love]] and the [[Social:Gift|gift]], which is a concept also explored at length by Derrida.

==Biography==

===Early years===
[[File:M._le_professeur_Jean-Luc_Marion.png|thumb|Jean-Luc Marion at the Élysée Palace after his meeting with President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing on Thursday 7 September 1978.]]
Marion was born in Meudon, Hauts-de-Seine, on 3 July 1946. He studied at the University of Nanterre (now the University Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense) and the Sorbonne and then did graduate work in philosophy from the École normale supérieure in Paris from 1967 to 1971, where he was taught by [[Biography:Jacques Derrida|Jacques Derrida]], [[Biography:Louis Althusser|Louis Althusser]] and [[Biography:Gilles Deleuze|Gilles Deleuze]].<ref name="Horner_05_p3">Horner 2005, p. 3.</ref> At the same time, Marion's deep interest in theology was privately cultivated under the personal influence of theologians such as Louis Bouyer, Jean Daniélou, Henri de Lubac, and [[Biography:Hans Urs von Balthasar|Hans Urs von Balthasar]].  From 1972 to 1980 he studied for his doctorate and worked as an assistant lecturer at the Sorbonne. After receiving his doctorate in 1980, he began teaching at the [[Organization:University of Poitiers|University of Poitiers]].<ref name="Horner_05_p3"/>

===Career===
From there he moved to become the Director of Philosophy at the University Paris X – Nanterre, and in 1991 also took up the role of ''professeur invité'' at the Institut Catholique de Paris.<ref>Horner 2005, p. 5.</ref> In 1996 he became Director of Philosophy at the University of Paris IV (Sorbonne), where he taught until 2012.

Marion became a visiting professor at the University of Chicago Divinity School in 1994.  He was then appointed the John Nuveen Professor of the Philosophy of Religion and Theology there in 2004, a position he held until 2010.<ref name="Horner, Robyn 2005">Horner, Robyn. Jean-Luc Marion: a Theo-Logical Introduction.

On 6 November 2008, Marion was elected as an ''immortel'' by the [[Organization:Académie Française|Académie Française]]. Marion now occupies seat 4, an office previously held by Cardinal Lustiger.<ref name="AF">Académie française, 2008.</ref><ref name="AFPGN">L’Agence France-Presse 2008.</ref><ref name='uchicago'>{{cite news |last=Wein |first=Terren |date=October 8, 2020 |url=https://news.uchicago.edu/story/pope-francis-honors-prof-jean-luc-marion-top-theology-prize |title=Pope Francis honors Prof. Jean-Luc Marion with one of world's top theology prizes |work=University of Chicago News}}</ref>

==Philosophy==
Marion's [[Philosophy:Phenomenology|phenomenological]] work is set out in three volumes which together form a [[Triptych|triptych]]<ref>Marion 2002a, p.ix.</ref> or [[Social:Trilogy|trilogy]].<ref>Marion 2002b, p.ix.</ref> ''Réduction et donation: Etudes sur Husserl, Heidegger et la phénoménologie'' (1989) is an historical study of the phenomenological method followed by [[Biography:Edmund Husserl|Husserl]] and [[Biography:Martin Heidegger|Heidegger]], with a view towards suggesting future directions for phenomenological research. The unexpected reaction that ''Réduction et donation'' provoked called for clarification and full development. This was addressed in ''Étant donné: Essai d'une phénoménologie de la donation'' (1997), a more conceptual work investigating phenomenological givenness, the saturated phenomenon and the gifted—a rethinking of the subject. ''Du surcroît'' (2001) provides an in-depth description of saturated phenomena.<ref>Marion 2002a, pp.ix-x.</ref>

===Givenness===
Marion claims that he has attempted to "radically reduce the whole phenomenological project beginning with the primacy in it of givenness".<ref>Marion 2002b, p.xxi.</ref> What he describes as his one and only theme is the givenness that is required before phenomena can show themselves in consciousness—"what ''shows itself'' first ''gives itself''.<ref>Marion 2002a, p.5.</ref> This is based on the argument that any and all attempts to lead phenomena back to immanence in consciousness, that is, to exercise the phenomenological reduction, necessarily results in showing that givenness is the "sole horizon of phenomena"<ref>Robyn Horner, translator, in Marion 2002b, p.ix.</ref>

Marion radicalizes this argument in the formulation, "As much reduction, as much givenness",<ref>Marion 1998, p.203; Marion 2002a, p.16; Marion 2002b, p.17-19; see Marion 2002b, p.x, note 4 for translator's note.</ref> and offers this as a new first principle of [[Philosophy:Phenomenology|phenomenology]], building on and challenging prior formulae of Husserl and Heidegger.<ref>Marion 1998, p.203; Marion 2002a, p.14-19; Marion 2002b, p.16-19.</ref> The formulation common to both, Marion argues, "So much appearance, so much Being", adopted from [[Biography:Johann Friedrich Herbart|Johann Friedrich Herbart]],<ref>Marion 2002a, p.329, note 4.</ref> erroneously elevates ''appearing'' to the status of the "sole face of Being". In doing so, it leaves appearing itself undetermined, not subject to the [[Philosophy:Eidetic reduction|reduction]], and thus in a "typically metaphysical situation".<ref>Marion 2002a, p.11.</ref>

The Husserlian formulation, "To the things themselves!", is criticized on the basis that the things in question would remain what they are even without appearing to a subject—again circumventing the reduction or even without becoming phenomena. Appearing becomes merely a mode of access to objects, rendering the formulation inadequate as a first principle of phenomenology.<ref>Marion 2002a, p.12.</ref> A third formulation, Husserl's "Principle of all Principles", states "that ''every primordial dator [[Philosophy:Phenomenology#Intuition|Intuition]] is a source of authority (Rechtsquelle) for knowledge'', that ''whatever presents itself in {{'}}intuition{{'}}...is simply to be accepted as it gives itself out to be'', though ''only within the limits in which it then presents itself''."<ref>Husserl 1969, p.92.</ref> Marion argues that while the Principle of all Principles places givenness as phenomenality's criterion and achievement, givenness still remains uninterrogated.<ref name="2002b17">Marion 2002b, p.17.</ref> Whereas it admits limits to intuition ("as it gives itself..., though only within the limits in which it presents itself"), "givenness alone is absolute, free and without condition"<ref>{{cite book | last = Husserl | first = Edmund |  title = Die Idee der Phänomenologie, Husserliania II | pages = 61 and 50 respectively}} Cited in Marion 1998, p.33 and Marion 2002b p.17-18.</ref>

Givenness then is not reducible except to itself, and so is freed from the limits of any other authority, including intuition; a reduced given is either given or not given. "As much reduction, as much givenness" states that givenness is what the reduction accomplishes, and any reduced given is reduced to givenness.<ref>Marion 2002a, p.17.</ref> The more a phenomenon is reduced, the more it is given. Marion calls the formulation the last principle, equal to the first, that of the appearing itself.<ref>Marion 2002b, p.26.</ref>

By describing the structures of phenomena from the basis of givenness, Marion claims to have succeeded in describing certain phenomena that previous metaphysical and phenomenological approaches either ignore or exclude—givens that show themselves but which a thinking that does not go back to the given is powerless to receive.<ref>Marion 2002a, pp.3–4.</ref> In all, three types of phenomena can be shown, according to the proportionality between what is given in [[Philosophy:Phenomenology#Intuition|intuition]] and what is [[Philosophy:Phenomenology#Intentionality|intended]]:

*Phenomena where little or nothing is given in intuition.<ref>Marion 2002a, pp.222, 308.</ref> Examples include the [[Philosophy:Nothing#Existentialists|Nothing]] and death,<ref>Marion 2002a, pp.53–59.</ref> mathematics and logic.<ref>Marion 2002a, pp.191–196.</ref> Marion claims that metaphysics, in particular [[Biography:Immanuel Kant|Kant]] (but also Husserl), privileges this type of phenomenon.<ref>Marion 2002a, pp.194, 226.</ref>
*Phenomena where there is adequation between what is given in intuition and what is intended. This includes any [[Philosophy:Objectivity (science)|objective phenomena]].<ref>Marion 2002a, pp.222–225.</ref>
*Phenomena where what is given in intuition fills or surpasses intentionality. These are named saturated phenomena.<ref>Marion 2002a, pp.196–221, 225–247 and Marion 2002b.</ref>

===The saturated phenomenon===
Marion defines "saturated phenomena," which contradicts the Kantian claim that phenomena can only occur if they are congruent with the a priori knowledge upon which an observer's cognitive function is founded. For example, Kant would claim that the phenomenon "three years is a longer period of time than four years" cannot occur.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Kant |first1=Immanuel |title=Critique of Pure Reason |date=1999 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-0-5216-5729-7}}</ref>

According to Marion, "saturated phenomena" (such as divine revelation) overwhelm the observer with their complete and perfect givenness, such that they are not shaped by the particulars of the observer's cognition at all. These phenomena may be conventionally impossible, and still occur because their givenness saturates the cognitive architecture innate to the observer.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Mason |first1=Brook |title=Saturated Phenomena, the Icon, and Revelation: A Critique of Marion's Account of Revelation and the "Redoubling" of Saturation |journal=Aporia |date=2014 |volume=24 |issue=1 |pages=25–37 |url=http://aporia.byu.edu/pdfs/mason-saturated_phenomena.pdf}}</ref><ref>Caputo 2007 p. 164.</ref>

==="The Intentionality of Love"===
The fourth section of Marion's work ''Prolegomena to Charity'' is entitled "The Intentionality of Love" and primarily concerns [[Philosophy:Intentionality|intentionality]] and [[Philosophy:Phenomenology|phenomenology]].  Influenced by (and dedicated to) the French philosopher [[Biography:Emmanuel Levinas|Emmanuel Levinas]], Marion explores the human idea of love and its lack of definition: "We live with love as if we knew what it was about. But as soon as we try to define it, or at least approach it with concepts, it draws away from us."<ref name="Marion, Jean-Luc 2002">Marion 2002c</ref> He begins by explaining the essence of consciousness and its "lived experiences." Paradoxically, the consciousness concerns itself with objects transcendent and exterior to itself, objects irreducible to consciousness, but can only comprehend its 'interpretation' of the object; the reality of the object arises from consciousness alone.  Thus the problem with love is that to love another is to love one's own idea of another, or the "lived experiences" that arise in the consciousness from the "chance cause" of another: "I must, then, name this love ''my'' love, since it would not fascinate me as my idol if, first, it did not render to me, like an unseen mirror, the image of myself. Love, loved for itself, inevitably ends as self-love, in the phenomenological figure of self-idolatry."<ref name="Marion, Jean-Luc 2002"/> Marion believes intentionality is the solution to this problem, and explores the difference between the ''I''  who intentionally sees objects and the ''me'' who is intentionally seen by a counter-consciousness, another, whether the ''me'' likes it or not.  Marion defines another by its invisibility; one can see objects through intentionality, but in the invisibility of the other, one '''is''' seen.  Marion explains this invisibility using the [[Biology:Pupil|pupil]]: "Even for a gaze aiming objectively, the pupil remains a living refutation of objectivity, an irremediable denial of the object; here for the first time, in the very midst of the visible, there is nothing to see, except an invisible and untargetable void...my gaze, for the first time, sees an invisible gaze that sees it."<ref name="Marion, Jean-Luc 2002"/> Love, then, when freed from intentionality, is the weight of this other's invisible gaze upon one's own, the cross of one's own gaze and the other's and the "unsubstitutability" of the  other.  Love is to "render oneself there in an unconditional surrender...no other gaze must respond to the ecstasy of ''this particular'' other exposed in his gaze." Perhaps in allusion to a theological argument, Marion concludes that this type of surrender "requires faith."<ref name="Marion, Jean-Luc 2002"/>
