Raymond-Claude-Ferdinand Aron (March 14, 1905 – October 17, 1983) was a French philosopher, sociologist, journalist and political scientist. He is known for his lifelong, often critical friendship with Jean-Paul Sartre, and for his skepticism of the post-war vogue in France for ideologies that largely took their inspiration from a Marxist tradition. He is perhaps best known internationally for the 1955 book The Opium of the Intellectuals, which has been described by journalist Matthew Price as a "central text in the literature of anti-communism." According to historian James R. Garland, "Though he may be little known in America, Raymond Aron arguably stood as the preeminent example of French intellectualism for much of the twentieth century."
