Document Details : Title: Maurice Blondel and the Mystic Life Author(s): CONWAY, Michael A. Journal: Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses Volume: 94 Issue: 4 Date: 2018 Pages: 661-692 DOI: 10.2143/ETL.94.4.3285533 Abstract : Maurice Blondel made an exceptional contribution to the discussion of mysticism in the early decades of the twentieth century. His Problem of the Mystical (1925) is one of the most penetrating analyses of the mystic state from a philosophical (and, indeed, theological) perspective. The text itself, however, remains quite inaccessible if it is not placed and understood from within the complex contours of Blondel’s university, ecclesial, and personal worlds. |
