Alain

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.09 sec.

Alain (1868-1951)

French philosopher. He was an influential exponent of the ideas of French radicalism, through his books and, from 1906, his daily newspaper column in which he extolled the role of individual citizens and their rights against the state. A graduate of the Ecole Normale Supérieure and a philosophy teacher, Alain volunteered for service in World War I in 1914, although a pacifist. From 1927 he also contributed regularly to the Nouvelle Revue Française and co-founded the Committee of Anti-Fascist Intellectuals in 1934.
