Among all the fields covered by Jean-Luc Marion’s phenomenology of givenness, it is remarkable that politics occupies a scarce, if not non-existent, place. This quasi-absence can be explained by conceptual reasons, given that political philosophy is enclosed within metaphysics through its recurrent use of concepts such as the subject, the power or the interests. However, it is possible to think, from Marion’s philosophy, a politics that is not limited to his metaphysical figure. This possibility supposes a true politics of communion that unites the collective from a point that remains external to it and that does not serve as its foundation.

The aim of this article is to address Jean-Luc Marion’s interpretation of the pragmatic tradition, in order to demonstrate the practical dimension of French eventual phenomenology. First, we will explore the passages where Marion develops this critical appropriation of pragmatism. We will show, on the one hand, that this reception is inseparable from his reading of the thought of Dionysius the Areopagite, as can be seen in L’Idole et la distance (1977) and De surcroît (2001). On the other hand, we will investigate his reading of pragmatism and the Speech Act theory in Le visible et le révélé (2005). In order to clarify the singularity of this reception practiced by Marion, we will simultaneously provide an analysis of analytical pragmatism, particularly considering Richard Rorty’s proposal. Finally, we will expand the language pragmatics of saturation in Marion to various common issues in Jean-Louis Chrétien’s phenomenology of the voice, as both proposals express a performative and non-predicative language that emphasizes the excess of meaning outside the paradigm of objectivity.
