Omschrijving
“Philosophical Exigencies is a key work in Blondel’s oeuvre, describing in accessible terms for a general readership his mature understanding of the ineluctable interdependence of philosophy and theology as well as the nature-grace relationship. Blondel is always careful to write as a philosopher and never to trespass on theological turf. Yet he writes as a believer, in such a way that he has much to say about what theology is and what it is not, or what it cannot be.” —Cathal Doherty, S.J., author of Maurice Blondel on the Supernatural in Human Action

Oliva Blanchette is professor emeritus of philosophy at Boston College. He is the author and translator of eleven books, including Action (1893): Essay on a Critique of Life and a Science of Practice by Maurice Blondel (University of Notre Dame Press, 1984).
Maurice Blondel (1861–1949) was a philosopher born in Dijon, France, and educated at the École Normale Supérieure. Blondel defended his thesis, L’action, in 1893 at the Sorbonne. Blondel at first was refused a university position on the grounds of having taken an improperly religious position in his philosophy but finally received a professorship in Aix in 1897.
