add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "La Philosophie en France au XIXe. Siècle," by Félix Ravaisson. His report shows him to have remained no idle or uninterested observer of events in the philosophical and scientific worlds. It is made with great soberness and fairness. His judgment of the celebrated Eclectic School is not different from that now generally passed on it, that it was superficial, à la mode, and a matter of popular entraíment rather than thorough-going and based on severe, impartial thought. M. Ravaisson defines it as "a brilliant development of the demi-spiritualism inaugurated in France by Royer-Collard."
