D. Sertillanges, Walter J. Ong, Renaud Barbaras, Pierre Hadot[2] Louis Lavelle (French: [lavɛl]; July 15, 1883 – September 1, 1951) was a French philosopher, considered one of the greatest French metaphysicians of the twentieth century.[3] His magnum opus, La Dialectique de l'éternel présent (1922), is a systematic metaphysical work. Lavelle's other principal works include De l'Être (1928), De l'Acte (1937), Du Temps et de l'Eternité (1945), and De l'Âme Humaine (1951). In his works, Lavelle dealt with themes such as axiology, aesthetics, the problem of evil, morality,[4] and freedom of the spirit. Lavelle was a member of the Académie des Sciences Morales et Politiques. Contents 1 Biography 1.1 Reception 2 Major publications 3 See also 4 References Biography[edit] Louis Lavelle was born in France in 1883 and died there in 1951. He was Professor at the College de France; at the Sorbonne; and lectured at German, Italian, Swiss, Belgian and Dutch universities. In 1947 he was recognized for his many philosophical and religious writings, and named to the Académie des sciences morales et politiques.[5] Reception[edit] Lavelle's work has not aroused much interest, both in the editorial and academic fields.[6][7][8] Although he was recognized by some of the greatest French philosophers of the 20th century, such as Merleau-Ponty,[9] Gilles Deleuze,[4] Paul Ricœur[6] and Pierre Hadot,[10] Lavelle has not been studied in France. The first articles dedicated to him come from Italian and Brazilian interpreters.[8] There is also an attempt to spread the Lavellian philosophy, thanks to efforts by names like Alexis Klimov, Jean École, Jean-Louis Vieillard-Baron, Michel Adam and Bruno Pinchard, whose promote annual conferences on the work of the author.[11] Major publications[edit] Original French Lavelle's other writings include La dialectique du monde sensible: La perception visuelle de la profondeur (1921), La conscience de soi (1933), La présence totale (1934), L'Erreur de Narcisse (1939), Le Mal et la Souffrance (1940), La Parole et l'Écriture (1947), and Les puissances du Moi (1948). Selected translations of works by Lavelle There is a complete translation of La présence totale (The Total Presence) by Bruno Campello, and selected chapters of De l’Acte (Of the Act), Du temps et de l’éternité (Of Time and Eternity) and De l’âme humaine (Of the Human Soul), together with a long introduction to the work of Lavelle, can be found in The Act of Presence by Robert Jones.

Analyses and critiques in English James Collins published the article "Louis Lavelle on Human Participation" in The Philosophical Review vol 56, no. 2 (1947): 156–83. Walter J. Ong works with a sound/sight contrast throughout Ramus, Method, and the Decay of Dialogue: From the Art of Discourse to the Art of Reason (1958, 3rd ed. 2004), which he credits largely to Lavelle: "For a discerning and profound treatment of the visual-aural opposition on which the present discussion turns, the reader is referred to the works of Louis Lavelle, especially La parole et l'ecriture (Paris, 1942), and Jean Nogue, Esquisse d'un système des qualités sensibles (Paris, 1943)" (p. 338n.54). Colin Smith devotes a chapter to discussing Lavelle's work in Contemporary French Philosophy: A Study in Norms and Values (1964, pp. 47–74). Marvin Farber includes an essay by Lavelle in the collection Philosophic Thought in France and the United States: Essays Representing Major Trends in Contemporary French and American Philosophy (1968, pp. 121–35).
