Antonin Sertillanges

Antonin-Gilbert Sertillanges, O.P. (November 16, 1863 - July 26, 1948) was a French Catholic philosopher and spiritual writer. [He was born Antonin-Dalmace, and is referred to as such on the French Wikipedia. When he entered the Dominican order, he took the name Antonin-Gilbert.] His scholarly work was concerned with the moral theory of Thomas Aquinas. In the English-speaking world, he is best known for two non-specialist works. "The Intellectual Life" is a practical guide for how to structure one's life so as to make progress as a scholar. "What Jesus Saw from the Cross" is a spiritual work that drew upon the time Sertillanges spent living in Jerusalem.
