Joseph Maréchal
Joseph Maréchal (born July 1, 1878 in Charleroi , † December 11, 1944 in Leuven ) was a Belgian Jesuit and philosopher of Neuthomism . Maréchal entered the Jesuit order in 1895. He studied philosophy , theology , psychology and zoology and received his doctorate in 1905 from the University of Leuven . He was ordained a priest in 1908. From 1919 to 1935 he was professor of philosophy at the Jesuit college Louvain-Eegenhoven in Leuven.
Maréchal confronted Neuthomism with Immanuel Kant and German idealism . In addition, his studies on the psychology of mystics have become famous.
In his main work ( Le point de départ de la métaphysique ) he developed a synthesis of the Kantian epistemological criticism with the epistemological metaphysics of Thomas Aquinas . Maréchal interprets Kant's a priori conditions of knowledge in the sense of the scholastic doctrine of the formal objects of knowledge. In contrast to Kant, reason not only has a regulative function, but also grasps being . The mind and sensuality also take part in the knowledge of being in their own way.
Maréchal exerted a significant influence on the development of Neo-Scholasticism ( Bernard Lonergan , Karl Rahner , Johannes Baptist Lotz ).
