| Summary |
"Hilaire Belloc: No Alienated Man; A Study in Christian Integration" by Frederick Wilhelmsen is a philosophical work written in the mid-20th century. The book explores the concept of integrated humanity through a study of Hilaire Belloc's life and writings, particularly focusing on his themes pertaining to alienation and the nature of being. It positions Belloc as an emblematic figure of Christian humanism, addressing the soul's connection to both the earthly and the divine." "The opening of the book presents a captivating exploration of the dual nature of man as an entity of both the earthly and heavenly realms, referencing various philosophical traditions. It introduces Belloc's views on the alienation of modern man and contrasts it with what the author sees as the integrated human spirit embodied by Belloc himself. The text sets the stage for a deeper analysis of Belloc's works, emphasizing his rejection of guilt as intrinsic to existence, and foreshadowing a discussion of the archetypes that shape human personality and artistry. The author uses the framework of Belloc’s characters in his work "The Four Men" to illustrate the necessity for harmony among the different dimensions of humanity to achieve personal completeness and integration."
