Integral Humanism and the Crisis of Modern Times

Abstract

To Avoid misunderstanding, I should note at once that my point of view is here not that of the mere logic of ideas and doctrines, but that of the concrete logic of the events of history.From the first point of view, that of the mere logic of ideas and doctrines, it is evident that there are many possible positions other than the “pure” positions which I shall examine. One might ask theoretically and in the abstract, what value these various positions have. That is not what I plan to do. In a word, my point of view is that of the philosophy of culture, and not that of metaphysics.

Personalist Business Ethics and Humanistic Management: Insights from Jacques Maritain

“…Then, his definition of humanism is presented and discussed. Although Maritain's Integral humanism (Humanisme inte´gral, 1936), The person and the common good (La personne et le bien commun, 1947), and Man and the state (L'homme et l'e´tat, 1951) are of special relevance to the topic at hand (Puel 1999), the presentation also draws on other works in which his personalism is fundamental (e.g., Maritain 1929Maritain /1970Maritain , 1936aMaritain /1996Maritain , 1939Maritain , 1943aMaritain /1971Maritain , 1948Maritain , 1950Maritain /2001Maritain , 1952bMaritain /1968). Though grounded on Thomistic metaphysical realism, Maritainian personalism does not oppose the secular (temporal) and the sacred orders but, instead, advocates the ''sanctification of the secular'' in order for the human being to become a fully human person (1936b/1996, p. 230).…”

Humanistic Thought and Education for Sustainable Development

“…These challenges were known during the founding phase of UNESCO, the movement of Maritain's integral humanism aimed to reconcile the gap by acknowledging a spiritual dimension to human reason towards an inclusive vision (Barré, 2005;Maritain, 1936;1939) (Lang et al, 2012;Yanniris, 2021). This might also expand the global transferability and acceptance of research results beyond the academic sphere with communities involved in research from the beginning.…”

Social networking as a tool for educational effectivenes in the residential welcoming coming communities

“…La metodologia educativa fa riferimento a una concezione positiva della persona (Maritain, 1939;Mounier, 1952) come unità psico-fisica, che ha in sé la capacità di un processo di crescita personale e sociale e il potenziale per diventare responsabile delle scelte e protagonista della propria storia. Essa si fonda sulla profonda fiducia che ogni persona, se sostenuta e facilitata, è in grado di apprendere dalla propria esperienza (Ignazio di Loyola 1541/1991Dewey, 1938;Laing, 1968;Ferrière, 1969;Rogers, 1973;Kolb, 1984) la direzione verso un miglior livello di autonomia e di autorealizzazione (Maslow, 1973).…”
