Recorded use
Wiktionary exampleThese source excerpts show how apologète appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
L’attitude des apologètes justifie sans doute, provoque cette réaction des matérialistes ; il faut déplorer que cette controverse ne se situe ni sur le terrain de la discussion théologique, ni sur celui de la polémique philosophique. Elle dégénère et introduit dans la recherche scientifique des préoccupations étrangères à cet esprit.
