In this collection of three beautifully written essays, the
distinguished philosopher Jacques Maritain presents his reflections
on the role of philosophy in the life of man as a social being. In
his concern for the social relevance of philosophy, Professor
Maritain writes of the ways in which philosophy helps one to live.
His essays are a dear and persuasive statement of why the world
needs philosophers, and of how the pursuit of truth and
intellectual justice requires fellowship among men of different
faiths. Two of the essays, "Truth and Human Fellowship" and "The
Philosopher in Society," were given as lectures at the Graduate
School of Princeton University. The third, "God and Science," is a
new statement from Professor Maritain on the relation of modern
science to man's knowledge of God. Originally published in 1961.
The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
