Georges Palante (November 20, 1862 – August 5, 1925) was a French philosopher and sociologist.
He advocated aristocratic individualist ideas, close to Nietzschean and Schopenauerian thesis. He opposed to Émile Durkheim's holism, promoting methodological individualism instead.
Suffering from acromegaly and weary of his philosophy teacher job, he shot himself.
Most of his readers are anarchists, though he never claimed being anarchist. His work was translated into Italian.
Posterity
Louis Guilloux wrote Souvenirs sur Georges Palante (Memories on Georges Palante) and took his inspiration from Palante to model his character Cripure (short for Critique de la raison pure, in English: Critique of pure reason) in his novel Le Sang Noir (Dark Blood).
Michel Onfray's thesis and first published book, Physiologie de Georges Palante (Georges Palante's Physiology), is about this philosopher, and contributes to enlighten him. The 2002 and 2005 reissues of this work were subtitled portrait d’un nietzschéen de gauche (Portrait of a left-wing nietzschean).
