Hubert Benoit (1904–1992)
The French thinker Dr Hubert Benoit specialized in surgery until injuries sustained in the defence of Saint Lô in the Second World War partially paralysed his right hand and brought an end to his surgical career. Benoit turned his attention to psychoanalysis and to Zen, producing in 1955 the seminal work The Supreme Doctrine. Facebook Facebook Online Course Newsletter
