Passion of Israel

Jacques Maritain, Catholic Conscience, and the Holocaust

Richard Francis Crane

University of Scranton Press, 2010

In his lifetime, French philosopher Jacques Maritain (1882–1973) achieved a reputation as both a leading Catholic intellectual and as an outspoken critic of antisemitism. Here historian Richard Francis Crane traces the development of Maritain’s opposition toward antisemitism and analyzes the Catholic appreciation of Judaism that animated his stance. Crane probes the writings and teachings of Maritain—from before, during, and after the Holocaust—and illuminates how his ideas altered Christian perceptions of Jews and Judaism during his lifetime and continue to do so today.

The Christian Philosophy of Jacques Maritain

Jason L.A. West

Catholic University of America Press, 2025

A study of the Christian philosophy of Jacques Maritain (1882-1973), an influential, creative, and prolific writer. He was widely recognized as one of the most prominent Catholic intellectuals during his own lifetime and was widely seen as a spokesman for the Thomistic revival. This study aims to present Maritain’s thought as a dynamic and coherent philosophy in its own right. This is the only book in English to present Maritain’s philosophy on the full range of topics upon which he wrote. It focusses on Maritain as a twentieth-century philosopher, rather than an interpreter of Aquinas. Accordingly, this book presents Maritain’s philosophy in its own context. Finally, this work is also attentive to the religious context of Maritain’s philosophy and highlights his overlooked contributions to theology and other areas of philosophy that are informed by his theological commitments, e.g. mysticism, ecclesiology, education and philosophy of history. Accordingly, The Christian Philosophy of Jacques Maritain aims at providing the reader with a comprehensive presentation of Maritain’s thought and a clear vision of his philosophy as a whole.
