Life [ edit ]

His father, a professor of philosophy, gave him an education at the Stanislas College and the Ecole Normale , where he graduated in 1848. After being professor of philosophy at several provincial universities, he received the degree of doctor in 1852 on the subject of Louis Claude de Saint-Martin , and came to Paris in 1858 as master of conferences at the Ecole Normale. ^[2]^[3]

In 1861 he became inspector of the Academy of Paris , in 1864 professor of philosophy to the Faculty of Letters, and in 1874 a member of the Academie Francaise . He married Pauline Cassin , the author of Le Peche de Madeleine and other well-known novels. ^[2]

In his philosophy, he was mainly concerned to defend Christianity against modern Positivism . The philosophy of Victor Cousin influenced him strongly, but his strength lay in exposition and criticism rather than in original thought. ^[2]
