Joseph Maréchal’s (1878-1944) transcendental Thomism is a peculiar sort of philosophy: an attempt to adapt traditional Scholastic thinking to Immanuel Kant’s (1724-1804) critical method, its fullest expression in Maréchal’s five-volume work Le Point de départ de la métaphysique2 asks the question, “what can serve as a ground for objective knowledge?” While Kant addressed this question by situating the unity of a knowing subject and its object in consciousness, Maréchal’s approach finds this unity in Being, making it into a philosophy that grounds religious experience. To experience, for Maréchal, is to think, and to think is to be.
