Jacques Maritain's An Introduction to Philosophy was first
published in 1931. Since then, this book has stood the test of time
as a clear guide to what philosophy is and how to philosophize.
Inspired by the Thomistic Revival called for by Leo XIII, Maritain
relies heavily on Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas to shape a
philosophy that, far from sectarian theology in disguise, is driven
by reason and engages the modern world. Re-released as part of the
Sheed & Ward Classic series, An Introduction to Philosophy is
sure to enliven the minds of students and general readers for years
to come. From the new introduction by Ralph McInerny: You are about
to read a magnificent introduction not only to a kind of philosophy
but to philosophizing itself. Jacques Maritain was a relatively
young man when he wrote this book, but his effort is one that
attracts any philosopher more and more as he grows older. However
odd and unusual what he says becomes, the philosopher yearns to
show how even the most abstruse claims can be put into relation
with what the reader already knows. That, in its essence, is what
teaching is. In this book, the reader will find a wise and certain
guide into philosophizing as such. And, in the end, he will find
that what he reads is really only a refinement and development of
what he and everybody else already knew.
