GOMEZ RODAS, Carlos Andrés  e  ALVAREZ GOMEZ, Jorge Iván. TOWARDS A "PRACTICING" PHILOSOPHY. THE CONCEPT OF ACTION IN THE LESSER WORKS OF MAURICE BLONDEL AND HIS CONTRIBUTION TO CONTEMPORARY THOUGHT. Escritos - Fac. Filos. Let. Univ. Pontif. Bolivar. [online]. 2013, vol.21, n.46, pp.111-143. ISSN 0120-1263.

After the publication of his doctoral thesis, The Action (1893), the French philosopher Maurice Blondel wrote some works where he explored several topics of significant relevance, both in the philosophical and theological field, which developed the main issues of The Action that caused a commotion in the French philosophical environment at the end of the 19^th century. Being aware of its relevance and its immense worth for a novel perspective of metaphysics and the faith-reason dialogue, it is intended in this paper an approach to four works, which scholars of Blondel's thought call lesser works. The following paper develops the main contributions of these works to contemporary philosophical reflection and asks, at the same time, about Philosophy of Action in every one of them. After a short biography of the author, the meaning of Philosophy of Action will be approached, in order to clarify it to the reader. Subsequently, a historical context of each work and the links with The Action will be presented. The paper concludes with some reflections that the reading of this work suggests in our time, whose challenges are similar to the ones faced by Blondel in his own time.
