Jacques Maritain's philosophical reflections delve into the interplay between individual dignity and political order during a tumultuous era in France. In "Scholasticism and Politics," he presents nine lectures that examine modern culture's crisis in relation to Christianity, the essence of human freedom threatened by materialistic philosophies, and the foundations of a social order that respects human dignity. Advocating for personalist democracy, Maritain argues for a political framework that upholds popular sovereignty, constitutionalism, and individual freedoms aligned with Christian values and the common good.
