Jacques Maritain

    November 18, 1882 – April 28, 1973

    Jacques Maritain stood as a towering figure in the Catholic intellectual resurgence, applying the principles of scholasticism to contemporary issues. While he regarded metaphysics as central to civilization and held a Thomist position, he fully engaged with the intellectual currents of his time. Maritain articulated a resilient and vital Thomism that resonated across Europe and the Americas. His later writings offered critiques of developments within the Church, emphasizing a defense of traditional Christian doctrines.
