Main Article Content

Abstract

With a double facet of worldly and academic philosopher, the German thinker Markus Gabriel articulates in his work some debates of contemporary analytic philosophy and an interpretation of German Idealism, in the form of a philosophy that is both post-continental and postanalitic. In this article, a bibliographic research of the thought of Markus Gabriel and his main intellectual references and theoretical alternatives is carried out, with the purpose of explaining his ontological and epistemological positioning. Through Gabriel’s texts, we can recognize an epistemological conception that is realistic and away from relativism and psychologism, as well as a non-metaphysical ontological conception ―in a certain sense―, which challenges the existence of the world as a self-contained totality and outlines a weak essentialism.
