French philosopher Julien Benda argued that Nazism was a result of humanism in his book "The Treason of the Intellectuals." Benda believed that intellectuals had forsaken their duty to uphold universal values in favor of pursuing narrow political ideologies, leading to the rise of totalitarian regimes like Nazism.
