In On Humanism, Alain makes a compelling case for the enduring relevance of classical studies, arguing that only through an intimate understanding of ancient cultures—Jewish devotion, Greek philosophy, and Roman law—can we truly grasp the complexities of humanity. Without this retrospection, modern man risks becoming a creature of cleverness without wisdom, prone to fanaticism and devoid of balance.
