Mística y acción. Dialéctica y destino de la voluntad en la obra del joven Blondel, 2020

In it, he established the bases to renew the discourse on God and on the human being, showing the validity of the action as a solid and fruitful link between the two. This work provides a novel perspective of study, by making explicit and delineating the mystical background of Blondel's first youth writing; a perspective, on the other hand, demanded by the current social, religious and spiritual context, which strives for a fullness outside of God. Thus, this speculative itinerary, which leads to the affirmation of God from the immanence of human action, reveals itself as an authentic mystical path towards intimate union with the "only One necessary". This book can be considered from various centers of interest. Above all, from Fundamental Theology, by showing one of the best developments on the classic subject of homo capax Dei, along with other specific subjects. Also, although not only, from Philosophy, by proposing a renewed statute for dialogue with Theology; or from Spiritual Theology, by offering the bases for a correct understanding of the mystical experience, as well as a series of discernment criteria for the spiritual path of every Christian.

If this were not the case, we would be caught up in providentialism or a mere philosophical reflection. For this purpose, a series of criteria for recognising God’s provident action, according to the Christian faith, are provided.

Para ello, recoge las aportaciones de Maurice Blondel sobre este tema y ofrece las inspiraciones contemporáneas de algunos filósofos encuadrados en la llamada fenomenología francesa.

Die Weisheit, nach der die philosophische Reflexion strebt, ist in höchstem Maße eine der Gnaden des mystischen Pfades. Maurice Blondels Philosophie der Handlung eröffnet nicht nur die Möglichkeit, sie rational zu erreichen (Philosophie), sondern liefert auch einen entscheidenden Vorschlag zur Verarbeitung der erhaltenen Gabe (Theologie)

La sabiduría a la que aspira la reflexión filosófica es una de las gracias del camino místico; este no está margen de la razón, sino que la excede y prolonga hacia sus más altas cotas. La filosofía de la acción del maestro de Aix ofrece, a parte hominis, no solo una vía racionalmente posible para su consecución –con todas sus potencialidades apologéticas–, sino, también, una propuesta vital para asimilar el don recibido, a parte Dei, en la totalidad de la vida: pensamiento, voluntad y consistencia ontológica

Beyond the well-known issues of revelation and faith, history and dogma, or the classic topic about the homo capax Dei —explicit in his doctoral thesis, The Action (1893)—, his contributions about mystic are important to clarify the core of the God's experience, the place of the mystic in philosophical reflexion and in the christian life, the way of study/knowledge of the mystical phenomenon, etc. This article wants to present the contributions of Aix en Provence philosopher about the mystic, the studies realized about the issue and indicate possible study’s lines for theological reflexion.

Knowing the biography of the philosopher from Aix-en-Provence allows us to situate his thinking in the context of his time, and helps explain the accents of his philosophical work. The fundamental idea of the action is presented, it serves as the guiding thread of all his works and provides the title of his doctoral dissertation: «L'Action» (1893). Along with this one, some of his other works are analyzed, such as «La Pensée», «L'Être et les êtres» and «Histoire et Dogme». The exhibition is completed with a brief presentation of the aspects of Blondel's thinking that have most influenced contemporary philosophy and theology.

Theology had to be able to propose the intelligibility of the Christian faith concepts in order to rediscover God and the salvation that only he can give. This study presents this principle, its origin and meaning, as well as its development in Dieu pour penser. It shows its possibilities —against the existence limits—, its foundation —filiation—, its proposal —divinisation— and its actualisation —revelation—.

Be responsible for faith and reason, for God and man. In the present study we expose his understanding and the particular development of this task in his work Dieu pour penser, attending to the double theological-fundamental movement —ad intra and ad extra— with which he used to articulate his writings.

This, in epistemological questions values, issues, and functions and in the specific deployment of this epistemology showing, thus, inclusiveness among Fundamental Theology and Dogmatic Theology of his life s work.

Reconocer la Verdad es expresión y consecuencia de una relación, más que un ejercicio de reflexión.

Therefore, to do not adulterate discernment is necessary to pose the right questions. After considering the opportunities and strengths of our pastoral praxis we should raise the question: What can God want from us? Hence, the article suggests some clues of discernment in several pastoral areas, to conclude with some discoveries and beliefs that may help pastoral workers towards an authentic pastoral of discernment
