Beskrivning
Walter Schultz argues that Jacques Maritain has much to offer the 21st century by way of critiquing both atomistic individualism within liberal democracies and the rise of autocracy and totalitarian control in response, along with critiquing the merger of autocracy and Christian Nationalism. Maritain describes how nurturing person and community can circumvent anarchic individualism and monistic totalitarianism: two sides of the same solipsistic coin emerging from centuries of misguided theory and praxis.

Recensioner i media

With clarity and refined arguments, Walter Schultz uses Maritain's principles and interprets them to speak to current social and political situations, beyond modern and postmodern options. For some, Maritain may be completely passé. But Walter Schultz demonstrates the relevance of Maritain's intuitions to tackle individualism and the distortions and pathologies it induces, and thus proposes something akin to a ‘critical maritainian theory.’ In a world polarized and lacking nuances, this book offers pacifying avenues for respect and recognition both of persons and of communities.
