Treason of the Intellectuals

By Julien Benda

In an era when intellectual and artistic life is increasingly being distorted by political dogmatism, Julien Benda's Treason of the Intellectuals is a classic that speaks with a new and extraordinary urgency. Benda's essay, published by ERIS in a new translation by David Broder, offers an incisive account of interwar Europe that ranges from the influence of Friedrich Nietzsche and Georges Sorel to the activities of Charles Maurras and Benito Mussolini. It also serves, however, as a remarkably timely warning against the seduction of modern intellectuals by tribal loyalties and antipathies.
