About This Item
London: Geoffrey Bles, The Centenary Press, 1937. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Very good. A classic of Catholic (Christian) philosophy, still in print in English translation (Maritain wrote in French). "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.'"-the current publisher, the University of Notre Dame Press.
Translated from the second revised French original, Distinguer pour unir; ou, les degrés du savoir, by Bernard Wall and Margot Adamson. xviii, 475 pages. First edition in English (states First Published 1937" on the copyright page with no indication of later printings). A near fine copy in a spine-darkened, somewhat spine faded and thus very good copy. With a 25s. price sticker over the original 21s. price on the front flap.
