The Phenomenon of the Will that Wants: A Gate to Transcendence in Maurice Blondel

Facing a philosophical context, the philosopher Maurice Blondel (1861-1949) knew how to explore the depth of human action, beginning with the phenomenon of the will that wants (Volonte voulante) that never finds full satisfaction in the world of phenomenon. This "method of immanence" as some people have named it, begins in the existential concerns of the human being, in the question about his destiny and his sense, but discovers in that trail, the need of a supernatural hypothetical donation because human reason is incapable of giving an answer to the desires of the will, that seems to claim for infinity.
