Art and Scholasticism With Other Essays

Art and Scholasticism With Other Essays is a collection of essays written by the French philosopher Jacques Maritain.

Maritain argues that art and scholasticism share a common goal, which is to reveal the truth about the world and humanity. He examines the nature of art, the role of the artist, and the importance of beauty in human life. Other essays in the book cover topics such as the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas, the nature of metaphysics, and the relationship between faith and reason.
