Description
Scholasticism and Politics is a collection of nine lectures delivered by Jacques Maritain at the University of Chicago in 1938. In these lectures, Maritain championed personalist democracy, a regime committed to popular sovereignty, constitutionalism, limited government, and individual freedom.
Maritain believed that personalist democracy offered a political order most in keeping with human dignity, Christian values, and the common good. This collection provides insight into his vision for a modern society based on these principles.
First published in 1940, this book is a significant work by one of the most influential interpreters of Thomistic thought to modern culture.
