Reviews
"One can open The Degrees of Knowledge to almost any page and discover there something worth thinking about." -- Pastoral Life, " The Degrees of Knowledge represents one of the most complete articulations of Maritain's incorporation of the thinking of Saint Thomas Aquinas into his work." -- The Library Quarterly, The Degrees of Knowledge remains interesting and valuable because it deals with a theme that is characteristic of, but antedates, much of postmodern thought--i.e., the critique of 'modern epistemology.' -- Études maritainiennes|9780268008765|

Synopsis
Distinguer pour unir, ou Les degres du savoir was first published in 1932 by Jacques Maritain. In this new translation of The Degrees of Knowledge , Ralph McInerny attempts a more careful expression of Maritain's original masterpiece than previous translations. Maritain proposes a hierarchy of the forms of knowledge by discussing the degrees of rational and suprarational understanding. Nine appendices, some longer than the chapters of the book, advance Maritain's thought, often by taking on criticism of earlier editions of the work. Rightly called Maritain's cardinal work, The Degrees of Knowledge is a magnificent and sagacious achievement. Jacques Maritain's masterpiece proposes a hierarchy of forms of knowledge that culminate in mystical experience and wisdom, which is a gift of the Holy Ghost. Maritain argues that the intellectual life is meant to be complemented by the spiritual life and should culminate in sanctity., Maritain argues that there are different 'kinds' and 'orders' of knowledge and, within them, different 'degrees' determined by the nature of the thing to be known and the 'degree of abstraction' involved. The book is divided into two parts: Part one discusses the degrees of knowledge for science and philosophy - or 'rational knowledge, ' and part two discusses the degrees of knowledge for religious faith and mysticism - or 'super-rational knowledge.', Maritain argues that there are different 'kinds' and 'orders' of knowledge and, within them, different 'degrees' determined by the nature of the thing to be known and the 'degree of abstraction' involved. The book is divided into two parts: Part one discusses the degrees of knowledge for science and philosophy - or 'rational knowledge,' and part two discusses the degrees of knowledge for religious faith and mysticism - or 'super-rational knowledge.'

- t***t (305)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseAAAA++++ SELLER!!!! Book looks new. I've purchased from this seller before and they are awesome. Book was in better than described condition and the price was the best I could find anywhere. Shipping was very fast and book was nicely wrapped in a mylar envelope. My very highest recommendation for Half-Price-Books-Inc! I'll absolutely be buying from them again soon. Thank you-
- c***r (565)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseMost importantly, the book condition was as specified. Many thanks for that. Also, the book was delivered quickly from the USA to the UK. The price was "okay" for a rare and out-of-print book. However, one small point of constructive criticism: the packaging could have been a little bit better, in order to better protect the book in transit. The book was sent in a plastic/light bubble mailer only. It would have benefited greatly from cardboard packaging. Thank you for considering my suggestion.
- 7***- (22)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe item arrived in better condition than described. The book's appearance is at least very good condition. The packaging unfortunately had small holes in it. I live in an area that is prone to intense rain and those holes could have caused problems. The weather has been dry, fortunately. The price was a bargain! I'll work with this vendor again in the future. Please, get more protective bags.
