Art and Scholasticism & The Frontiers of Poetry
Originally published in 1920, Art and Scholasticism was Jacques Maritain's first attempt to bring the principles of scholastic philosophy to bear on the domain of the fine arts. Joseph W. Evans, founder and inaugural director of the Jacques Maritain Center at Notre Dame, prepared the translation presented here from the work's third edition (1935), to which is added the essay "The Frontiers of Poetry," originally published in 1927.

Antisemitism
Based on lectures delivered in his native Paris and New York City in 1938, Jacques Maritain's Antisemitism documented the precarious situation of Jews across Europe on the eve of the Second World War. Maritain considers the social, political, and spiritual dimensions of the issue, drawing both from contemporary sources and the witness of St Paul.
