(18 nov. 1882, París, Francia–28 abr. 1973, Toulouse).

Filósofo francés. Educado como protestante, se convirtió al catolicismo romano en 1906. Su pensamiento, que está basado en el aristotelismo y el tomismo, incorpora ideas de otros filósofos clásicos y modernos y se inspira asimismo en la antropología, la sociología y la psicología. Entre los temas dominantes en su obra figuran: la ciencia, la filosofía, la poesía y el misticismo están entre las diversas maneras legítimas de conocer la realidad; que la persona individual trasciende la comunidad política; que la ley natural expresa no sólo lo que es natural en el mundo, sino también lo que es naturalmente conocido por los seres humanos; que la filosofía moral debe tomar en consideración otras ramas del conocimiento humano, y que las personas que tienen creencias diferentes deben cooperar entre sí para constituir y mantener instituciones políticas sanas. Entre sus obras más importantes están Artes y escolástica (1920), Los grados del saber (1932), La poesía y el arte (1935), El hombre y el Estado (1951) y Filosofía moral (1960).
