Early Life
Born in Liverpool and educated at Pensby Secondary School for Boys, Blond went on to study philosophy and politics at the University of Hull, continental philosophy at the University of Warwick and theology at Peterhouse at the University of Cambridge. At Peterhouse, he was a student of John Milbank, founder of the Radical Orthodoxy theological movement and a noted critic of liberalism, philosophically understood. Blond's first work, Post-Secular Philosophy: Between Philosophy and Theology, is very much in the Radical Orthodoxy line of thought and includes essays by many of that group's members. Blond won a prize research fellowship in philosophy at the New School for Social Research in New York.
