  Maurice Blondel [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Maurice Blondel was born in Dijon, France in 1861, entered the École Normale Supérieure in 1881, and passed the aggregation in 1886.
Blondel attacks the sterility of critical philosophy, the apogee of the Enlightenment, for having closed off questions rather than answering them, for demanding God to show Himself and to be judged by man. Blondel locates the fundamental error in the lack of attention to the phenomenon of action.
Blondel's attention to the structures of the individual subject in the beginnings of his works does not at all therefore reflect a commitment to an ontology which would take those individuals as primary, and ontologically prior to the other levels of structure, in particular the social and the religious, which he later turns to.

 Maverick Philosopher - Blondel Notes
Blondel’s concept of action, for example, is remarkably similar to the concept of existence that we find in Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Jaspers, Sartre and other existentialists.
But it was only recently that I began slogging through the tome on which the former is a commentary, namely, Blondel’s Action (1893): Essay on a Critique of Life and a Science of Practice, tr.
I assume that Blondel is not confusing the conditional necessity of action given that there are actors (agents) with the absolute necessity of their being agents.

Nevertheless Blondel’s influence is evident in the so-called ‘Nouvelle théologie’, as also on Rahner’s transcendental theology and consequently on the movement of renewal that took place in Catholic theology between the modernist controversy and Vatican II.

One of England's most unusual rock outfits of the 1970s, Amazing Blondel was a trio whose members played instruments dating from medieval to Elizabethan times, and songs styled to those periods.
They'd wearied of playing shows where the instruments were so loud it was impossible to hear themselves singing, and, as their acoustic set had gone over well with audiences, the duo moved in that direction.
Gladwin left soon after its release, however, and the Amazing Blondel were reduced to a duo for their follow-up, Blondel (1973).
