| description | The French philosopher Yves R. Simon, who was a lecturer from 1938 at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, published, on the one hand, Nature and Functions of Authority (1940) and, on the other hand, several writings in English about political philosophy (“Liberty and Authority”; “Thomism and Democracy”; “Beyond the Crisis of Liberalism”) in 1941-1942. During the Second World War, as he was worrying like other European intellectuals about France’s situation under the Vichy regime, Yves R. Simon wrote three essays in French over the 1941-1945 period, so as to deliver intellectual weapons to the Resistance. These essays were soon translated into English (The Road to Vichy: 1918-1938; The March to Liberation; Community of the Free). Though Jacques Maritain dubbed him “France’s fellow from America,” his audience has remained almost exclusively based on the US side of the Atlantic. |
