Influence
Louis Guilloux wrote Souvenirs sur Georges Palante (Memories of Georges Palante) and took his inspiration from Palante to model his character Cripure (short for Critique de la raison pure; in English, Critique of pure reason) in his novel Le Sang noir (Dark Blood). He also puts Palante's ideas into the mouths of characters in other novels.
He is quoted in one of the footnotes to Camus' classic treatise The Rebel. Jean Grenier who was Camus' philosophy teacher, met Palante and devoted a full chapter to him in his book Les Grèves (The Strikes).
Michel Onfray's thesis and first published book, Physiologie de Georges Palante (Georges Palante's Physiology) contributed to the renewed interest in his work. The 2002 and 2005 reissues of the book were subtitled portrait d’un nietzschéen de gauche (Portrait of a left-wing nietzschean).
