Description

Emmanuel Mounier 1905-1950 Emmanuel Mounier was born in Grenoble on April 1, 1905 to modest parents of peasant stock. His studies in philosophy were marked by the teaching and friendship of Jacques Chevalier, author of the Entretiens avec Bergson. In Paris, he continued his preparation for the agrégation in philosophy, which he obtained in 1928, at the age of 23. His discovery of Charles Péguy's thought led him to abandon a career in academia and, with a few friends, to found Esprit magazine in 1932, an international journal and laboratory of ideas. "A few men, in this troubled world, come to us like children with eyes full of wonder". Mounier's portrait of Péguy is in fact his own. A man of conversation and meditation, at the age of 27 he embarked on an adventure he knew he would never get back, and accepted the risks of a precarious life for himself and his family. Spurred on by a keen sense of his vocation, he wanted to contribute through his witness and actions to making the world a more humane place: "Refaire la Renaissance" was the flamboyant title of his first article in his young magazine. Mounier analyzed the economic and social disorders of the 1930s as the result of a crisis of civilization, born of an error about man. Following in the footsteps of the German philosopher Max Scheler, he renewed the notion of personalism, making it the foundation of his work. Right up until his death on March 22, 1950, Mounier was involved in all the commitments that marked France and the European continent: denouncing the Munich Agreement, defending the Spanish Republic, the Resistance, condemning colonial oppression, participating in the construction of Europe. According to his friend, the philosopher Paul Ricœur, Emmanuel Mounier possessed a rare virtue, combining strength and generosity, which made him a man who was both irreducible and offered.
