Description
Summary:Maurice Blondel’s L’Action presents a philosophical method that seeks to access totality starting from the concrete, based on praxis as a dynamic-concrete and synthetic-universal mediation. The rigor of this method does not depend on an abstract or systematic logical sequence immanent to the method itself, but on a neces-sary concatenation immanent to the concrete life-dynamism. Philosophy is thus understood as the awareness of life in front of life itself. In a totalizing horizon of meaning, phenomena are seconded such as they appear to the subject, in an openness to the possibility of assuming the totality of their elements without exclusion, partiality, or contradiction.
