Sacrifice as evidence of the reality of existence in the philosophy of Gabriel Marcel
The article deals with the identification of the essence of the Self and the reality of the existence of higher human values through sacrifice in the philosophy of the French existentialist thinker Gabriel Marcel. The study is constructed as a comparative analysis of several models of sacrifice described by the Russian philosopher S. N. Bulgakov as heroism and asceticism, and G. Marcel. With all the difference in the epochs of creation of the works involved for research and their national and cultural traditions, these authors mostly agree in their conclusions.
