Jacques Maritain (1882-1973), one of the most influential
philosophers of the twentieth century, was a preeminent interpreter
of the thought of Thomas Aquinas and author of more than fifty
books in metaphysics, the philosophy of science, aesthetics, and
social and political philosophy. A giant in his field, he combined
his Catholic faith and wide-ranging intellect to address
contemporary issues and the many facets of the human experience. In
Jacques Maritain: An Intellectual Profile, Jude P. Dougherty shares
his lifetime interest in and study of Maritain with readers. He
offers the most complete introduction to Maritain yet to be
published, highlighting Maritain's many contributions to
philosophy. Throughout, the reader gains a clear sense of Maritain
the man, his relationships with other notable figures of his time,
and his engagement in many of the debates of the twentieth century.
Dougherty's essays offer an appreciation of the perennial value of
Maritain's intellect. He follows Maritain's philosophical journey
from his early critique on the metaphysics of Henri Bergson to the
publication of L'Eglise du Christ in 1973. Accessible to readers
new to Maritain's work and to the Thomistic tradition, the book
will be welcomed by seasoned scholars as well.
