He proposed an ideal of democracy based on the concepts of human dignity, common good, and respect of human rights. Therefore, he criticized the sovereignity of the modern state and the nationalism that led to the totalitarianism of the twentieth century. In the paper, particular attention is given to the most current aspects of Maritain’s political thought: the ideal of a “personalistic and cosmopolitan democracy.”
