On the Use of Philosophy

Exploring the intersection of philosophy and social existence, Jacques Maritain articulates the vital role philosophers play in human life. His essays emphasize the importance of pursuing truth and fostering intellectual justice through collaboration among diverse beliefs. Two essays, presented as lectures at Princeton, delve into the philosopher's societal responsibilities, while the third offers fresh insights on the relationship between modern science and the understanding of God. Together, they advocate for philosophy's relevance in contemporary society.
