On the Use of Philosophy

Exploring the significance of philosophy in society, Jacques Maritain's collection of essays emphasizes its role in enhancing human life and fostering social connections. He articulates the necessity of philosophers in the pursuit of truth and intellectual justice, advocating for collaboration among individuals of diverse beliefs. Two essays, presented as lectures at Princeton University, delve into the interplay between truth and fellowship, while the third offers fresh insights on the relationship between modern science and the understanding of God.
