Wiktionary examples

These source excerpts show how philanthropie appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.

  1. — Vous oubliez, répliqua M. Mazure, que le moyen âge a connu la philanthropie de l’espèce la plus abominable, la philanthropie spirituelle. Car c’est bien ce nom que mérite l’esprit de la sainte Inquisition. Ce tribunal livrait les hérétiques au bûcher par charité pure. Et, s’il sacrifiait le corps, c’était, disait-il, pour sauver l’âme.
  2. Ajoutez que la philanthropie n'est plus de mise, ni plus la simple charité. L'État s'en charge. Il se charge de tout et l'on n'a plus besoin, c'est entendu, de secourir. De là certaine sécheresse dans les rapports, en dépit de toute camaraderie.
