up Lucien Laberthonière as editor, and engaged
himself in argument against L’Action Francaise
and its authors. In 1919, Blondel’s wife, Rose,
died, and in 1927, his vision degenerated, leaving
him nearly blind, necessitating his retirement,
able to work only by dictation. From 1934
to 1937, however, he published the five volumes,
La Pensée (2 vol.), L’être et les êtres, and L’action (2
vol.) of the metaphysical trilogy, followed by
L’Esprit chrétien, only two volumes of which were
completely finished at his death in 1949.
Blondel’s importance has largely been in
theological and Catholic philosophical circles
in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and Quebec.
Among many other important authors in the
20 th Century, Blondel is responsible for the “new
theology”, that played such a great role in the deliberations
and arguments of the Second Vatican
Council. [Gregory Sadler, IEP]
