Jacques Maritain, Maurice Blondel, and the Ends of Art
Modern Theology, EarlyView.Abstract This article reconsiders Jacques Maritain's philosophical poetics by situating it within his longstanding debate with Maurice Blondel over the nature and unity of intellect.

On Theology and the “Overcoming” of Metaphysics: Falque, Betz, Heidegger, and Marion
Modern Theology, EarlyView.Abstract John Betz and Emmanuel Falque have recently defined “metaphysics” as something intrinsic to the Christian faith. This faith, they claim, has always spoken metaphysically, until lately challenged by the likes of Heidegger and Marion.
