Degrees of Knowledge (Paperback, 7th ed.)

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.
