The Man Who Loved Wisdom: The Story of Jacques Maritain

This is a unique documentary of one of modern Catholicism's most creative philosophers. It traces the lives and work of Jacques Maritain (1882-1973), his wife Raissa and her sister Vera through rare photos, interviews with people who knew them, and location shots. Meet Louis Chamming's, a Parisian philosopher and disciple of Maritain, and his wife, Soizick, Olivier Lacombe, the noted Indologist and friend of Maritain, and many other friends, old and new: Anthony Simon, Cornelia Borgerhoff, Joseph and Irene Lynch, Roberto Papini, Deal Hudson, Ralph McInerny, René Mougel, and Antoinette Grunelius. And visit the Latin Quarter and Montmartre in Paris, Heidelberg, New York, Rome, Princeton and Kolbsheim to see where the Maritains lived out their lives. This is a fine introduction for those who have not yet met Maritain, and a beautiful chance to remember for his many friends.

The people who put together this documentary have done a great service by preserving the images and interviews of the life of a great man. The people who decided on the musical accompaniment must’ve had no idea what this documentary was about.

I had no idea his life was so dynamic. This doc has humanized his writings for me. Essesntial viewing for anyone studying his philosophy!

I have his _Moral Philosophy_ and it is OUTSTANDING. I know nothing of him. I felt a compulsion to search.
Shout out, Henri Bergson.
