THE DEGREES OF KNOWLEDGE

by Jacques Maritain ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

**This probably is, as publicized, Maritain's Magnum Opus. It is also one of the important philosophical books of the first half of this century, dealing with the distinctions and relationships between the several kinds of natural and supernatural knowledge, science, art, philosophy, faith, theology and mysticism. The author has long been a leading exponent of neo-thomism and is probably the best known and most highly respected representative of thomistic philosophy in this country. Note is taken of the appearance of the present volume because it is a new translation of the 4th French edition of Maritain's work, a translation supervised by a close friend and disciple of Maritain and approved by the author, and because it includes all the important Appendices omitted from other translations. Recommended for college and university libraries, for students of philosophy and theology and for all who are interested in the question of principles pertinent to a synthesis of all human knowledge.
