Excerpt from The Vital Forces in Nature and the Rights of Man Mind, Reason, Spirit, thus becoming an entity - a trinity of vital forces, a type of the Eternal god-head, which spiritual entity is of and unto Him, and whose' eternality is in His express Image. Thus was and is the creation of man, who was and is evolved by laws fixed and immutable as god. And thus were all things made that are made and thus was the Beginning; for God spake and it stood fast; the word was God. With this brief preface, the undersigned proposes to submit these writings to the people, not, of course, as conclusive proof of the theory herein set forth, but as approaching nearer the truth than the heretofore established theories extant in the world.

Few political philosophers have laid such stress upon the organic and dynamic characters of human rights, rooted as they are in natural law, as did the great 20th century philosopher, Jacques Maritain. Few Christian scholars have placed such emphasis upon the influence of evangelical inspiration, or of the Gospel message, upon the temporal order as has Maritain.As this important work reveals, the philosophy of Jacques Maritain on natural law and human rights is complemented by and can only be properly understood in the light of his teaching on Christianity and democracy and their relationship. Maritain takes pains to point out that Christianity cannot be made subservient to any political form or regime, that democracy is linked to Christianity and not the other way around, and that every just regime, such as the classic forms of monarchy, aristocracy and republic, is compatible with Christianity and in it a person is able to achieve some measure of fulfillment even in the temporal order.At the same time he argues his distinctive thesis that personalist or organic democracy provides a fuller measure of freedom and fulfillment and that it emerges or begins to take shape under the inspiration of the Gospel. Even the modern democracies we do in fact have, with all their weaknesses, represent an historic gain for the person and they spring, he urges, from the very Gospel they so wantonly repudiate!
