  • Twentieth-Century Catholic Theology and the Triumph of Maurice Blondel1
    TWENTIETH-CENTURY CATHOLIC THEOLOGY AND THE TRIUMPH OF MAURICE BLONDEL1 • William L. Portier • “Blondel sought to ‘open up a position in philosophy through which the light of Christian revelation could pour in.’” Introduction The second of November, 2011 will mark the 150th anniversary of Maurice Blondel’s birth. He was born at Dijon into an old, landed Burgundian Catholic family. His father and his uncle were both lawyers. He studied philosophy at the École Normale Supérieure from 1881 to 1884 and defended his controversial dissertation, L’Action, at the Sorbonne on 7 June 1893. A year and a half later, on 12 December 1894, Maurice Blondel and Rose Royer were married. They had three children. Rose Royer Blondel died on 7 March 1919 in the twenty-fifth year of their marriage. After a year at the University of Lille, Blondel taught philosophy at the Univer- sity of Aix en Provence from 1896 to 1927, when blindness forced him into retirement. From 1931 onward, thanks to the help of his 1This essay is based on the second annual Michael J.
