With his prodigious learning of the liberal arts, Maritain articulates a philosophy of history as “the final application of philosophical truths, not to the conduct of the individual man, but to the entire movement of humanity.” Moving away from a so-called theology of history and toward a Christian-influenced moral philosophy of history, Maritain draws on the content of Christian revelation and tradition and counters assertions of Hegel and Marx, to show that comprehension of the cosmic order and narrative (the world, society, culture, and man) must take place in light of the heavens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA triumph of the philosophical act, \u003ci\u003eOn the Philosophy of History \u003c\/i\u003eis a helpful guide for historians, political scientists, and theologians alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian philosophy is concerned with the direction of human history, not only in relation to the work of eternal salvation…but also and primarily in relation to that very work accomplished in human history which is in itself terrestrial and immanent in time.\u003c\/i\u003e (Jacques Maritain)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJacques Maritain \u003c\/b\u003e(1882–1973) was perhaps the greatest Catholic philosopher of the twentieth century.
