      abstract = {This work investigates the early encounters of French  philosophers and religious thinkers with the  phenomenological philosophy of Edmund Husserl. Following an  introductory chapter addressing context and methodology,  Chapter 2 argues that Henri Bergson's insights into lived  duration and intuition and Maurice Blondel?s genetic  description of action functioned as essential precursors to  the French reception of phenomenology. Chapter 3 details  the presentations of Husserl and his followers by three  successive pairs of French academic philosophers: Leon Noel  and Victor Delbos, Lev Shestov and Jean Hering, and Bernard  Groethuysen and Georges Gurvitch. Chapter 4 then explores  the appropriation of Bergsonian and Blondelian  phenomenological insights by Catholic theologians Edouard  Le Roy and Pierre Rousselot. Chapter 5 examines  applications and critiques of phenomenology by French  religious philosophers, including Jean Hering, Joseph  Marchal, and neo-Thomists like Jacques Maritain. A  concluding chapter expounds the principal finding that  philosophical and theological receptions of phenomenology  in France prior to 1939 proceeded independently due to  differences in how Bergson and Blondel were perceived by  French philosophers and religious thinkers and their  respective orientations to the Cartesian and  Aristotelian/Thomist intellectual traditions.},
