His career makes manifest the intellectual, cultural, and spiritual liveliness of the pre-Conciliar period, and his thought is crucial to our understanding of the Church today. \u003ci\u003eArt and Prudence\u003c\/i\u003e highlights the social, political, and aesthetic achievements of the great French Catholic intellectual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this collection of essays Ralph McInerny portrays Maritain as a devoted Thomist, convinced that faith could never be divorced from reason and that reason without faith was shallow and devoid of meaning. His eclectic tastes and penetrating intellect led him to scrutinize many topics, and although McInerny concedes that he cannot discuss all of Maritain 's ideas, he shows their inherent unity and underlying current of devotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking as a starting point Maritain's \u003ci\u003eArt and Scholasticism\u003c\/i\u003e, Mclnerny investigates a number of Maritain's ideas. He explicates Maritain's paradoxical defense of the United Nations Universal Declaration on Human Rights, as well as the philosophical ramifications of the dispute over the common good. In addition, Mclnemy discusses Maritain's deployment of Thomistic doctrines into surprising new applications and pays tribute to the man as the best Thomistic writer on art in this century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Notre Dame Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47591998357655,"sku":"9780268006198","price":7270.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780268006198.webp?v=1774975623","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/art-and-prudence-studies-in-the-thought-of-jacques-maritain-9780268006198","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
