A Philosopher in Provence

Philosophy

“Having already written about significant figures within both Thomism and the nouvelle théologie, Father Aidan Nichols now turns his attention to another towering figure within twentieth-century Christian thought: Maurice Blondel. Blondel’s impact on the questions and disputes of the previous century is difficult to overestimate. Although Blondel’s name is infrequently invoked today, his influence perdures in undeniable ways. And in this rigorous yet readable book, Father Nichols provides students of Catholic thought with an insightful account of Blondel’s philosophy and enduring influence. Whether they be philosophers or theologians, of Thomistic or Ressourcement persuasion, all readers will appreciate this timely volume.”
