The shorter works of Jacques Maritain have been so enthusiastically
received that this, his first long work, should be even more
welcome. Undoubtedly one of the greatest living philosophers this
book will have a wide field. Philosophers and theologians cannot
miss it and to add to its importance it bears the imprimatur so
that Catholics as well as Protestants will consider it required
reading. While it is not easy reading it is amazing how clearly the
author cuts his way through the maze of problems and subjects that
face him. Equally at home in the field of science of theology, in
physics or mysticism, mathematics or philosophy, we find ourselves
following our surefooted guide with an amazing but delightful sense
of achievement. Tell your customers honestly this is a book to own,
read, reread and study, not to be digested in one reading from a
library. It is more than $6.00's worth. It contains a lifetime of
knowledge. (Kirkus Reviews)
Distinguer pour unir, ou Les degres du savoir was first published
in 1932 by Jacques Maritain. In this new translation of The Degrees
of Knowledge, Ralph McInerny attempts a more careful expression of
Maritain's original masterpiece than previous translations.
Maritain proposes a hierarchy of the forms of knowledge by
discussing the degrees of rational and suprarational understanding.
Nine appendices, some longer than the chapters of the book, advance
Maritain's thought, often by taking on criticism of earlier
editions of the work. Rightly called Maritain's cardinal work, The
Degrees of Knowledge is a magnificent and sagacious achievement.
