An Introduction to Philosophy

Focusing on the essence of philosophy and the process of philosophizing, Jacques Maritain's work draws heavily from Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas, presenting a reason-driven approach that engages with contemporary issues. Originally published in 1931, this timeless guide is part of the Sheed & Ward Classic series and aims to inspire both students and general readers. Ralph McInerny's introduction emphasizes Maritain's ability to connect complex ideas to familiar concepts, making philosophy accessible and relevant to all.
