Summary/Abstract: On Watchfulness’ Path with Gabriel Marcel. This article attends to revisit the philosophy of Gabriel Marcel from a new point of view: watchfulness. Many of commentaries looked at the very role of the “second reflection” (fr.: reflexion seconde) for the search of mister, but it seems that nobody has tried yet to bring watchfulness and second reflection closer to describe the viator’s movement. This is what proposes to carry out this article by the distinction between vigilance and watchfulness which permits to elaborate the attitude to adopt towards the technical world. In doing this the mind subject reaches a new plan, called Transcendence, where a new communion as well with the You as the other subjects is possible. The concept of intersubjectivity is thus discovered. We find out at the end of this article that with Gabriel Marcel can appear an ontology of humility which sets a closer dialog between Christian philosophy and “the new theology”.
