Summary

"Hilaire Belloc: No Alienated Man; A Study in Christian Integration" by Frederick Wilhelmsen is a mid-20th century exploration of human wholeness through the life and works of Hilaire Belloc. It views Belloc as a model of Christian humanism, examining his ideas about modern alienation and humanity's connection to both the physical world and the spiritual realm. The book opens by looking at humanity's dual nature, drawing from various philosophical traditions, before introducing Belloc's belief that people are estranged in the modern era. It goes on to use Belloc's characters from "The Four Men" to demonstrate how different parts of humanity must be in balance to achieve personal fulfillment.
