Jean Hani (1917-2012) was a French philosopher and Traditionalist author, and a professor of Greek civilization and literature at the University of Amiens.
[1] Born in 1917, Hani proved a bright secondary student, pursuing his university studies in Classical Literature, and finally obtaining a doctorate with a dissertation about the influence of Egyptian religion on the thought of Plutarch.
[2] Appointed a lecturer at the University of Amiens, he founded the Centre de Recherches sur l'Antiquité Classique, and he led for many years a Séminar of History of Greek religion.
[6] According to Jean Borella,[1] the principles expounded in Le Symbolisme du temple chrétien have already been put into practice in the establishment of some contemporary monastic foundations.
[example needed] Borella also considers Hani to be the first author in academia to successfully marry Guénon's insights to the contemporary study of Hellenistic religions and Christianity.
