Description: Human Nature, Contemplation, and the Political Order by Peter Karl Koritansky Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The authors of Human Nature, Contemplation, and the Political Order: Essays Inspired by Jacques Maritains Scholasticism and Politics carry Maritains philosophical and cultural insights into the twenty-first century. They do so by exploring Maritains understanding of the human soul with particular emphasis upon Maritains extremely thoughtful critique of Freud. Publisher Description In his 1940 publication, Scholasticism and Politics, Jacques Maritain asserts that ""the modern world has sought good things in bad ways; it has thus compromised the search for authentic human values, which men must save now by an intellectual grasp of a profounder truth, by a substantial recasting of humanism."" In the essays that follow, Maritain explores the cultural and philosophical dimensions of this claim and sketches an outline for addressing what he famously calls the ""crisis of modern times."" The answer is a new humanism that appropriates the important insights of modern thought, but which is also grounded in the classical tradition that reaches its full philosophical development in the thought of Thomas Aquinas. It is a humanism that acknowledges the dignity of both mans body and his soul, and which does not close his soul off to the transcendent.The authors of Human Nature, Contemplation, and the Political Order: Essays Inspired by Jacques Maritains Scholasticism and Politics carry Maritains philosophical and cultural insights into the twenty-first century. They do so by exploring Maritains understanding of the human soul with particular emphasis upon Maritains extremely thoughtful critique of Freud. Others investigate the moral and political dimension of Maritains thought by bringing him into dialogue with modern figures as diverse as Niccolò Machiavelli, Elizabeth Anscombe, and Pope Benedict XVI. Still others develop the modern significance of and connection between Maritains humanism and the Thomistic identification of human happiness with contemplation.
