Antonin-Gilbert Sertillanges, O.P.
(pronounced as /fr/; 16 November 1863, Clermont-Ferrand - 26 July 1948, Sallanches), also known as Antonin-Dalmace Sertillanges, was a French Catholic philosopher and spiritual writer.
Biography
Born Antonin-Gilbert, he took the name Antonin-Dalmace when he entered the Dominican order. "Les Bases de la Morale," Revue de Philosophie, pp. 1–23, 138–171, 305–333.
This stuff is in chapters 6-8, if you want to read it.
So for all I find to criticize, I must admit there are moments Sertillanges is spectacular.
(Similarly, I must admit I find that annoying too though, to be honest: after all the things that were shortsighted, even considering that he'd think my intellectual experiences less than his since I'm a woman, there are moments where he's so right and my heart is overjoyed with it.
F.-M. He quite clearly expresses that the role of wives is to support their intellectual husbands, not bother their intellectual husbands with frivolous menial stuff (I am sure child-rearing, running homes, and generally relying on her husband are none of those things), and to sit quietly with her workbasket. L'Art et la Morale.
Reprinted by the Sophia Institute Press, 1996.
Certain of Sertillanges' works are concerned with political theory, with French identity and the structure of the traditional French family. L'Univers et l'Âme.

His language is often inordinately grandiose. La Philosophie des Lois. - (1948). I do really love the Modernists (and for the purposes of this review, when I call Sertillanges out on some of his ideas it's because I'm thinking of the Modernists and their project); the vast majority of them were doing their best to make sense of a world in which the old traditions no longer seemed to hold up, and they did it with such honesty, intelligence, novelty, and even a sort of integrity that I find deeply attractive--though most of them were proudly secular and I am proudly not.
Sertillanges, on the whole, disappointed me horribly.Kinships, McMullen Books.

- (1921). If Christ gave up his glory and status to come here and make a way for the nobodies (which we all are, regardless of how much discipline you apply to building up your intellect and pursuing noble Truth), then surely an intellectual who pulls away from the world is being shortsighted and elitist and generally unhelpful.
(Granted, you *can* poke holes in my interpretation here.I never did quite figure out what's the golden mean here (yes I too can be nerdy like that).
