There has been humanism since Ancient Greece. With different characteristic in different time, humanism has deeply influenced the development of the culture of human society. However, the argument about what is humanism is still continuing. Standing on the shoulder of history, Maritain raised a totally different humanism. It is an integral humanism, which derived from the same origin with past humanism, but is different from past humanism. This kind of humanism has strongly pushed forward modern humanism. It is according to Christianity and unprecedentedly respecting human's freedom and dignity. Besides, it is not difficult for us to see some meaning in existentialism , religious theory and political theory. Maritain's idea of new Christian church also provides important reference for our society construction.
