1: Possibly Ernest Gellner Language and Solitude: Wittgenstein, Malinowski and the Habsburg Dilemma, 1998:
There are also spheres in which it [The Crusoe Tradition]
may well be markedly inferior: it cannot, from within its own resources
and in accordance with its own central principles, engender those other
valued aspects of a culture, such as a gratifying sense of belonging, or
the integration of the social and natural orders, or providing a basis for
obligation and cooperation, or a source of symbolism and sacraments
for rites of passage, or consolation for tragedy. (p. 184)
Malinowski knew full well
that men lived within communities, and that those communities and the
ideas they carried gave meaning to their lives and had to be understood
from within: this is the old wisdom of the romantic tradition. (p. 188)

Not exactly the same as your quotation, but perhaps connected. Jiddu Krishnamurti: (Social Responsibility, Chapter IX)
To live at peace with oneself and with the world, one needs to have great intelligence.
