Philosophical Exigencies of Christian Religion is a translation of
two of Maurice Blondel’s essays. Blondel’s thinking played a
significant role in the deliberations and arguments of the Second
Vatican Council. Although a towering figure in the history of
twentieth-century Catholic thought, the later systematic works of
Maurice Blondel have been largely inaccessible in the
English-speaking world. Oliva Blanchette, who previously translated
Blondel’s early groundbreaking work Action (1893), now offers the
first English translation of Blondel’s final work to be
published, Philosophical Exigencies of Christian Religion. This
work of transition from mere philosophy to a consideration of
Christian religion consists of two main essays, The Christian Sense
and the shorter On Assimilation, followed by a Reconsideration and
Global View and an Appendix: Clarifications and Admonitions written
in answer to an inquiry by a young scholar about method. The first
essay explores the Christian sense of the spiritual life and how
Christian religion, even as supernatural, can come under the
purview of critical philosophy. The second essay examines the move
from analogy to assimilation in speaking of the Christian life.
Blondel tackles the question: How does the human spirit combine
with the divine spirit in such a way that neither is lost in the
process? Philosophical Exigencies of Christian Religion is critical
for understanding Blondel’s thought. This high-quality
translation and Blanchette’s concise preface will appeal not only
to philosophers and theologians but also to spiritual writers and
directors of spiritual retreats in the Ignatian and Jesuit
traditions.
