Integral Humanism is a work by the philosopher Jacques Maritain, published in 1936. In it, Maritain analyzes the evolution of Western culture from the medieval era to the modern world, and proposes a way of living Christianity in the current era that integrates the values of medieval Christendom and modernity. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the relationships between the world, culture and Christianity.
Jacques Maritain was a French Catholic philosopher and theologian. An author of more than 60 books, he helped to revive Thomas Aquinas for modern times, and was influential in the development and drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Pope Paul VI presented his "Message to Men of Thought and of Science" at the close of Vatican II to Maritain, his long-time friend and mentor. The same pope had seriously considered making him a lay cardinal, but Maritain rejected it.
