	Julien Benda Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Julien Benda (1867-1956) was a French cultural critic and novelist.
		Julien Benda was born in Paris on December 27, 1867, the only son of a wealthy, assimilated Jewish family.
		Benda increasingly led the life of wealthy young-man-about-Paris, frequenting the glittering society of the era, especially the circles (into which two of his female cousins had married) of the lawyer/political Eugene Carré and the great Casimir-Périer banking/political family.

	Benda, Julien Criticism and Essays
		Because of Benda's radical views and caustic personality, his works were often dismissed during his lifetime, and today he is remembered more for his well-publicized intellectual battles than for his writings.
		In the late 1890s Benda was one of many artists and intellectuals to become involved in the Dreyfus Affair—the court case of a Jewish officer in the French army convicted of selling secrets to Germany and condemned to life imprisonment on Devil's Island.
		While Benda achieved modest success with his novels and short stories, he is known primarily for his works of political and social philosophy.

	The treason of the intellectuals and "the undoing of thought" by Roger Kimball (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Julien Benda was not so naïve as to believe that intellectuals as a class had ever entirely abstained from political involvement, or, indeed, from involvement in the realm of practical affairs.
		Increasingly, Benda claimed, politics was “mingled with their work as artists, as men of learning, as philosophers.” The ideal of disinterested judgment and faith in the universality of truth: such traditional guiding principles of intellectual life were more and more contemptuously deployed as masks when they were not jettisoned altogether.
		Benda understood that the stakes were high: the treason of the intellectuals signaled not simply the corruption of a bunch of scribblers but a fundamental betrayal of culture.

		Julien Benda (December 26, 1867 Paris – June 7, 1956) was a French philosopher and novelist.
		Benda defended the measured and dispassionate outlook of classical civilization, and the internationalism of traditional Christianity, which Benda understood well.
		Moreover, Benda survived the German occupation of France, 1940-44, and the Vichy regime despite being a Jew.

		Julien Benda sostiene en estas memorias la necesidad de que existan pensadores –a los que él llama clérigos- que mantengan el ideal de lo absoluto, que asuman la renuncia y la creación como la cara y el envés de una misma moneda.
		Julien Benda (París, 1867-1956), quiso ser siempre un filósofo, pero con unas características que defendió, con rigor y una extraña pasión fría, durante toda su vida y que encontramnos expuestas en su libro más conocido: La traición de los intelectuales, obra publicada en 1927 y que causó en Francia un gran revuelo.
		Benda fue un beligerante antibergsoniano, lo que le permitió entender a Proust, ya que para Benda la razón está por encima de la creación literaria.

	Swans Commentary: Julien Benda: "The Failure of Imagination and Thought," by Gilles d'Aymery - ga153
		Benda was born on October 26, 1867 in Paris, in a prosperous family.
		Amusingly, Benda is widely ignored or discounted by the contemporary Anglo-Saxon "Left." He is acknowledged for the title of his book that has been abused and over-abused for decades, but the book is not much read in these quarters.
		Julien Benda must be cringing in his resting place at the thought of being recuperated by right-wingers, he who obstinately placed himself far apart from conservative and nationalist ideas!

		He wrote that "Our age is the age of the intellectual organization of political hatreds." Benda said that the chief political hatreds in modern society are those of race, class and nation.
		As Benda said, the modern era is one of increasing intellectualization and rationalization.
		Julien Benda blamed the writers and thinkers of his time, especially those living in democratic countries, for perfecting man's political passions.

	"Treason of the Intellectuals - Forward.com"
		Benda contrasted this outlook with what he believed to be the traditional one, associated by him with the Catholic church, of the scholar-intellectual dedicated to the pursuit of ultimate realities while keeping aloof from the power politics of his age.
		Although one can argue with various aspects of Benda’s thesis (were medieval Christian intellectuals like Peter Abelard or Bernard of Clairvaux really so divorced from the political and ecclesiastical struggles of their times?), the name he gave it has remained a buzzword.
		This is the case with Gideon Samet, who seems to think that “the treason of the clerks” consists of their staying out of politics, when Julien Benda was in fact saying the precise opposite.

	Treason of the Intellectuals, Volume 3
		Benda was distressed at the way intellectuals of the early 20th Century had been increasingly seduced by the appeal of power, and by the possibility that men of ideas might have a real role in shaping human events.
		Not philosopher-kings in the ancient sense, kings who used the insights of philosophy to rule more wisely and justly, but philosophers who also happened to be kings and who would be able to use the power of the state to advance their own philosophical agendas (and presumably quash opposing views).
		Benda pointed out that during the carnage of WW I, churchmen of the era mostly supported their national war efforts without reservation and without any coherent transnational effort to find peace for the sake of European civilization.

	RECENT PHILOSOPHY: Other Contemporary Philosophers
		Although Julien Benda (picture) had retired to a solitary existence prior to the collapse of France, his life was particularly endangered during the German occupation of France because he was a Jew, a defender of democracy, and an adversary of German nationalism.
		Benda's works proclaim his hatred of injustice, his contempt of skepticism, and his "ideal of disinterested values," those universal ideas which are independent of historical conditions.
		La Trahison des Clercs (The Treason of the Intellectuals, 1927), accused the intellectuals of disloyalty to those concepts which, according to Benda, are the basis of individual rights and mandatory for everyone who actively participates in a spiritual life.

		It begins with Julien Benda’s classic exposition of what it means to be an intellectual: in his view, absolute adhesion to the universal values of Truth and Justice.
		It then looks at Nietzsche, a thinker who, according to Benda, betrayed the intellectual’s calling, and Hitler, who appears to have confirmed Benda’s most dire predictions about the pitfalls of race consciousness and nationalism.

		A good source on Benda's ouevre is JULIEN BENDA (1956) by Robert Judson Niess.
		To be sure, Benda was an uncompromising partisan of the Enlightenment and democracy, but his provincial, traditional, classical education made a control freak out of him.
		Benda lacked flexibility and could not with sufficient concreteness engage the contemporary trends he rejected--recent developments in literature as well as irrationalist philosophy.

		It might then be viewed as a counterpart to Julien Benda’s The Treason of the Intellectuals (1927; Benda is mentioned several times but never in connection with the book).
		While Benda reproached intellectuals with forsaking permanent values such as rationality and justice in favor of transitory passions, thus getting their hands soiled in petty political squabbles, Hollier seems to find them remiss in their duty to fight totalitarian ideologies and practices.
		Writers under scrutiny are Georges Bataille, Michel Leiris, Roger Caillois, André Malraux, and the early Jean-Paul Sartre.
