“A collection of twenty-one essays which examine the political thought of three modern thinkers on the idea of freedom: Mortimer Adler, Yves Simon and Jacques Maritain.

“This facinating collection of essays presents complementary approaches to freedom in the writings of Jacques Maritain, Yves Simon and Mortimer Adler, and it is the intellectual harvest from a gathering held to celebrate and assess the works of these philosophers“ —_Études Maritainiennes/Maritain Studies_, Fall 2001, Vol. XVII
