Scientific work

Marion is one of the most important living philosophers in France and was a student of Jacques Derridas. His work is strongly influenced by Descartes , Martin Heidegger , Edmund Husserl and Emmanuel Levinas . Thematically Marion deemed to represent a philosophy of religion accentuated phenomenology . He tries to show that being, which is thematized by metaphysics, is not the most fundamental level of reality, but rather the securing of both love and God as givens beyond being; In his phenomenological analysis of the "new" Marion works out how the "new" appears as an "event" and as a "gift".
