10The Mystery of Evil and FreedomPhilosophy and Theology 12 (2): 377-396. 2000.In 1971 the French publishing house Aubier-Montaigne published Gabriel Marcel’s previously unpublished 1909 study “The Metaphysical Ideas of Coleridge and their Connection with the Philosophy of Schelling” under the title, Coleridge et Schelling.
