Abstract

Being and acting, or rather act to be. For the philosopher of action we play life in this effort to become more ourselves, and so manifest in each of our actions. Our actions demonstrate who we are and can condition the way we are or who we will be. We are “forced” to act determinedly. We are free to act; the challenge will be just arrive “acting”, towards the realization of ourselves, not to our annihilation. In that sense, for Blondel, no act is insignificant, it can add to the construction of the person, or can undermine their own development.
