A "Printing And The Mind Of Man" Title, #419, Remarkable Not Just For Its Intelligent And Articulate Criticism Of Their Moral Failings In What They Did Or Failed To Do, But Because It May Also Be Taken As An Indictment Of The Entire Intellectual Establishment And The Classes Which Populate It.

He Shows The Lack Of Capability And Moral Fiber Of Intellectuals For The Task They Have Implicitly Chosen For Themselves, That Is, To Articulate What Are The Basic Purposes And Goals Of Individual Achievement And Social Life; He Implies They Lack The Particular Skills And Abilities And Knowledge, And Fail To Provide Oversight And Programs And Efficiencies And Competencies And Budgets Essential To The Best Undertakings Of Government, Institutions, Businesses, Social Associations, And Even Families. The Intellectuals Have Failed Not Just To Provide Moral Leadership, But Also To Undertake A Proper Moral Education Of Society So That Society Itself Can Self Correct.

Modern Elites Would Have You Believe That He Is Talking Only About The "Opinion" Leaders Which Dominate The Media; But He Is Talking As Well About The Leaders In Business, Education, Medicine, Civil Service, Law, Civic And Philanthropic Organizations, And Academic Leaders As Well, Including Social Sciences, Engineering, Science, And All The Other Departments Of The Great Universities Which Blithely Claim Immunity From Findings That They Are Ethically Impaired.

The 'Clerc' is what Benda conceived the intellectual to be, someone disengaged from the mere contingencies of existence and fighting for ideals which went beyond the demands of a given moment in space and time. In violent and brilliant invective, he attacked the intellectuals of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries for having fallen short of this ideal by becoming the devoted advocates not of ideals, but of groups or existences, material and transient, such as a nation or a social class" (PMM).PRINTING AND THE MIND OF MAN 419CONDITION: Very good or better in original printed wrappers.

First edition, rare "Bonnes feuilles" advance proof, number 24 of 25 issued thus for the critics, of Benda's best known book. "Undoubtedly one of the major events in political thought between the two wars. The 'Clerc' is what Benda conceived the intellectual to be, someone disengaged from the mere contingencies of existence and fighting for ideals which went beyond the demands of a given moment in space and time. In violent and brilliant invective, he attacked the intellectuals of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries for having fallen short of this ideal by becoming the devoted advocates not of ideals, but of groups of existences, material and transient, such as a nation of a social class. The title of Benda's manifesto became a kind of catch phrase which, by a curious irony of fate, inverted its original sense, and came sometimes to be used as a term of reproach for the intellectuals who shut themselves off from the march of events in an ivory tower. The Trahison des Clercs achieved a world-wide popularity and was translated and reprinted over and over again. [It] continues to be read; and its invigorating attach on over-involvement deserves not to be forgotten" (PMM). Hazlitt, The Free Man's Library, p. 40; Printing and the Mind of Man 419. Octavo. Original green proof wrappers with titles to spine and front in black. Spine slightly faded, cocked and creased, light dust soiling and marks to wrappers, a little creasing to the extremities, internally spotted, withal a sound and smart copy of this scarce survival, very good condition.

Paris, Grasset, (24 novembre) 19271 vol. (125 x 190 mm) de 306 p., [1] et 1 f. Broché, sous double couverture, à toutes marges, non coupé. Édition originale. Un des 62 exemplaires sur Madagascar (n° XVIII). À une époque où de nombreux intellectuels et artistes se tournaient vers la politique au nom du réalisme, Julien Benda leur reproche de se détourner de la recherche du beau, du vrai, du juste, valeurs qui sont pour lui statiques, désintéressées et rationnelles. Cet ouvrage vise plus particulièrement les intellectuels qui prônent l'ordre, un état fort, le nationalisme, les traditions. la méditation, la connaissance désintéressée, l'amour du beau, toutes choses en somme qui le distinguent de l'homme de parti. A cette figure de l'intellectuel, J. Benda oppose ce qui, au moment où il écrit, est en passe de devenir l'une des figures les plus courantes de l'intelligentsia : l'intellectuel engagé dans un parti ou proche d'un parti. J. Benda a alors surtout à l'esprit les intellectuels de l'Action française. Sur la fin de sa vie, en un mouvement paradoxal il s'engagea en faveur du communisme et Jean-François Revel rapporte qu'il "s'égara au point d'acclamer la condamnation à mort de Rajk lors du procès truqué de Budapest".

Paris, Bernard Grasset, (24 novembre) 1927. 1 vol. (175 x 230 mm) de 306 p., [1] et 1 f. Broché sous chemise et étui. Non coupé. Édition originale. Un des 14 exemplaires réimposés sur vergé Annam (n° 10). Aujourd'hui comme hier, des écrivains et des philosophes se détournent des rigueurs de la raison et aussi de leur vocation propre, sous prétexte de faire oeuvre positive. Ce sont là ceux que visait déjà Julien Benda sous l'appellation de « clercs »,une espèce d'intellectuels « dont l'activité ne poursuit pas des fins pratiques, mais qui demande sa joie à l'exercice de l'art, de la science ou de la spéculation métaphysique, c'est-à-dire à la possession d'un bien intemporel ». Le monde moderne, jugeait Benda, a grand besoin de clercs, c'est-à-dire de penseurs « qui maintiennent l'idéal dans son absolu ».À une époque où de nombreux intellectuels et artistes se tournaient vers la politique au nom du réalisme, Julien Benda leur reproche de se détourner des valeurs cléricales, c'est-à-dire la recherche du beau, du vrai, du juste, valeurs qui sont pour lui statiques, désintéressées et rationnelles. L'ouvrage vise plus spécifiquement les intellectuels prônant l'ordre, un État fort, le nationalisme, les traditions. Benda a alors surtout à l'esprit les intellectuels de l'Action française.
