  Abstract:  Jacques Maritain’s Conception about the Internal Dynamism of the Person through Natural Dispositions, Transnatural Aspirations and Natural Desire to See God. The person’s inner dynamism certifies his natural inclination to God. Jacques Maritain promotes this doctrine on the basis of the person’s natural inclinations, his trans-natural aspirations and his built-in desire to see God. If the natural inclinations can be similar to the non-rational beings’ inclinations, the trans-natural aspirations – such as aspiration to immortality, to perfection or to the infinity – are specific to the human being because of his spiritual faculties. These are the privileges for the natural desire to see God thesis. Inspired by Henry de Lubac and St. Thomas Aquinas, Maritain considers at the end of his career that this desire is written in the human nature with no connection to faith, knowledge or adhesion. The depth of this perspective is an invitation for the contemporary society to reconsider the human person.
