Julien Benda
Julien Benda was a French novelist and essayist, best known for his 1927 work 'La Trahison des clercs' ('The Treason of the Intellectuals'), where he criticized intellectuals who compromised their moral integrity for political ends. His writings argue that intellectuals have a duty to uphold truth and reason, rather than align with ideologies that betray these principles. Benda's insights remain relevant in discussions about the role of intellectuals in society, especially in the context of authoritarianism and populism.
