He brought together various writings that had not appeared in print or had circulated privately. The heart of the book is to be found in two groups of articles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first consists of philosophical essays. Several deal with truth, with philosophy at the time of Vatican II, and with the divine aseity; two are on philosophy of nature, dealing with evolution and with animal instinct; and three are on moral philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA second group consists of primarily theological essays. Four are contributions to what Maritain calls an existential epistemology. They are followed by a moving meditation on the Mass and essays on the Church triumphant, resurrection, and the priesthood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen he lay dying at Fossanova, Thomas Aquinas, in deference to the wishes of the Cistercians, with whom he had found refuge, wrote a commentary on the Song of Songs. How better could a lifelong Thomist round off his lifetime of writing than with his own essay on the Song of Songs? This is what Maritian does in the serenely profound meditation that closes the volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacques Maritain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0268043000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780268043001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Notre Dame Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.21w x 1.56d","brand":"Jacques Maritain","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44809607512319,"sku":"9780268043001","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_709f4876-b440-4ad5-b579-4b32c7013b3d.jpg?v=1707926970","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/untrammeled-approaches-jacques-maritain-9780268043001","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
