A study of the Christian philosophy of Jacques Maritain (1882-1973), an influential, creative, and prolific writer. He was widely recognized as one of the most prominent Catholic intellectuals during his own lifetime and was widely seen as a spokesman for the Thomistic revival. This study aims to present Maritain's thought as a dynamic and coherent philosophy in its own right.
This is the only book in English to present Maritain's philosophy on the full range of topics upon which he wrote. It focusses on Maritain as a twentieth-century philosopher, rather than an interpreter of Aquinas. Accordingly, this book presents Maritain's philosophy in its own context. Finally, this work is also attentive to the religious context of Maritain's philosophy and highlights his overlooked contributions to theology and other areas of philosophy that are informed by his theological commitments, e.g. mysticism, ecclesiology, education and philosophy of history. Accordingly, The Christian Philosophy of Jacques Maritain aims at providing the reader with a comprehensive presentation of Maritain's thought and a clear vision of his philosophy as a whole.
