Philosophy as a task, Metaphysical phenomenon, Maurice BlondelAbstract
Maurice Blondel wrote in 1906: “Plato and Spinoza have long said: ‘philosophy is the learning of death’, that is, it is the anticipation of life, life that for us is indivisible knowledge and action” (BLONDEL, 1997, p. 569). Following a dialectical and phenomenological methodology, this work intends an approximation to the meaning of philosophy as “learning of death” or “anticipation of life”, having as a priority orientation the text of Action (1893) and the two articles that compose Le point de départ de la recherche philosophique (1906). A characterization of human life as an action and, consequently, carrying out a task will be explained. In the meantime, the phenomenology of action will be elucidated as the realization of the dialectics of the human will, which must, after a long process, put up the problem “of death or life of action”, which will correspond to the very question of “death or life of intelligence”, or rather, “of life that for us is
indivisible knowledge and action” (BLONDEL, 1997, p. 569).
