About this title

Synopsis

This volume is a reconstruction of a planned final work in The Point of Departure of Metaphysics by Joseph Maréchal. It shows the development of Maréchal's Thomistic thought, especially as he puts it in relation to some philosophical issues of his own time. As part of the Collected Works of Joseph Maréchal, S.J., this volume includes both previously unpublished and published materials. The Point of Departure of Metaphysics delves into the historical and theoretical development of the problem of knowledge, tracing the evolution of metaphysical thought from ancient to modern times. Maréchal's approach itself integrates historical analysis with philosophical inquiry, examining key figures such as Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, Kant, and Hegel, while also exploring the interplay between faith and reason. This work is essential for scholars of philosophy, theology, and intellectual history, offering insights into the foundations of thinking and believing itself.
