La « philosophie chrétienne » a-t-elle encore un avenir, ou connaît-elle aujourd’hui sa fin ? Le présent article cherche à répondre de manière nuancée à cette question, après avoir évoqué la naissance du problème et le contexte culturel, rappelé l’essentiel de la fameuse querelle des années 1930, et examiné plusieurs tentatives ultérieures d’articuler la rencontre de la philosophie autonome et de l’expérience chrétienne.

A comprehensive examination of the role of dialectic in human knowledge. The author shows, in a careful and detailed analysis, how a dialectic such as Hamelin's mistakenly attempts to construct the object of knowledge itself; it is actually a structure corresponding to reality and not reality itself which dialectic produces. Following this, Abbe Sesmat outlines a dialectical system of his own, and seeks to show how it can be used to produce a world-view compatible both with modern science and with (...) recent developments in nondialectical philosophy.--M.

The defence of a Christian philosophy, more particularly a Thomist philosophy, is the task assumed by Professor Vancourt in this thirteenth volume of the new Encyclopédie du Catholique au XXème Siècle. The competence of the author to meet this challenge is beyond question. His interests have ranged over the entire field of philosophy; he has written authoritatively on all phases of modern thought, especially on the philosophies of Maine du Biran, Husserl, Hartmann, Marx and Kierkegaard.
