Editorial Reviews
Review
"There are many reasons to read Alain Finkielkraut's In the Name of Humanity, but perhaps the most important is that its argument can be interpreted as a powerful and thoughtful vindication of American ambivalence about humanism." -- Damon Linker, National Review
"To approach these fundamental questions in Finkielkraut's way, which is argumentative, honest, and yet indirect and evocative, you have to write well....Finkielkraut writes very well, elegantly and yet clearly." -- Adam Morton, TLS
"Finkielkraut musters three millenia of thinkers to grapple with a century of horrors and somehow his account lifts our spirits and helps us find some measure of renewal." -- Richard Weisberg
"Finkielkraut writes with great skill... often poetic and moving... a significant book." -- Brian C. Anderson, First Things
Response
A rising star of the French intellectual scene.
