Integral Humanism: Perspectives of Deendayal Upadhyay and Jacques Maritain (HB) | By Sonu Trivedi (Editor) | MLBD Publications

Integral Humanism, as a philosophical and political concept, finds expression in the works of thinkers from diverse cultural and ideological backgrounds. This book aims to compare the integral humanism articulated by Deendayal Upadhyay, a prominent figure in Indian political thought, and Jacques Maritain, a French Catholic philosopher. Despite the contextual and cultural differences between their perspectives, both thinkers share a commitment to the holistic development of human beings within the framework of a fair and balanced society. The comparative analysis of Integral Humanism as articulated by Upadhyay and Maritain reveals the universality of certain principles despite the cultural and religious diversity of their contexts offering valuable insights into the promotion of human dignity, ethical governance, and the integration of material and spiritual dimensions in the pursuit of a just social order. In this book, the contributors provide diverse perspective and offer deep insight into the ideas of Deendayal Upadhyay and Jacques Maritain who based on their shared values continue to inspire and guide humanity towards a more integral and harmonious future.
