French philosopher Maurice Blondel had a tremendous impact on both
philosophy and religion over the first half of the twentieth
century. He was at once a postmodern critical philosopher and a
devout traditional Catholic, trying not only to reconcile these two
seemingly disparate factors in his own mind, but also to prove to
others that the two must go together. / In the first critical
examination of the philosopher's life Oliva Blanchette tells the
story of Blondel's stormy life confronting an Academy dismissive of
religion and a Religion uncomfortable with rational philosophy.
This book not only follows his biographical history, but also
presents his systematic philosophy, from the beginning of his
journey to the culmination found in Philosophical Exigencies of
Christianity, the book for which he signed the publishing contract
the day before he died. / Maurice Blondel is part of the
Ressourcement: Retrieval and Renewal in Catholic Thought series,
edited by David L. Schindler.
