Coming from different faiths and disparate cultures, they shared a common desire to assert the essential dignity and rights of the human person in an era torn apart by extremism and conflict. They embarked on a joint endeavour to promote ecumenical dialogue and philosophical conversation in interwar Europe. Their collaboration was instrumental in developing a philosophy of Christian personalism and seminal in the emergence of existentialism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNewly translated into English, \u003ci\u003eAn Exceptional Dialogue, 1925-1948\u003c\/i\u003e reproduces the two thinkers' correspondence, along with Bernard Hubert's original introductory essay, his notes to the French edition, and a new introduction by Ana Siljak. An intimate and remarkable portrait emerges. The two men met and corresponded often during their two decades of friendship, their homes became spaces for conversations on religion and philosophy, and together they contributed to the development of a Christian humanism and personalism that inspired such disparate figures as Hannah Arendt and Martin Luther King Jr and that influenced Maritain's work on the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAn Exceptional Dialogue, 1925-1948\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the connectedness between Russian and European thought, explores the contributions of French-Russian personalism to the history of human dignity, and provides insight into a strain of philosophy often ignored in contemporary scholarship.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBernard Hubert is professor emeritus at the Faculté de philosophie de l'Institut Catholique de Toulouse and editor of the \u003ci\u003eCahiers Jacques Maritain\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eAna Siljak is associate professor of humanities at the University of Florida.\u003cbr\u003eC.
