French Philosopher Victor Cousin Autograph Letter Signed

Cousin, Victor

Beschreibung

French philosopher Victor Cousin (1792-1867) nearly illegibly scrawled this letter to author Charles Coquerel (1797-1851) regarding Coquerel s recent religious article. Cousin compares Coquerel s work favorably with that of Mr. Denison , perhaps referring to Frederick Denison Maurice (1805-1872), a major English theologian of the 19th century. Cousin was the founder of the school of eclecticism in French philosophy, which was a mixture of German idealism and Scottish Common Sense Realism. He taught philosophy for many years at the Ecole Normale and became rather famous. Cousin also drafted a bill, presented by Francois Guizot in 1833, that brought about numerous reforms of the French education system. Coquerel wrote several works on religious subjects, including Essai sur l histoire generale du christianisme (1828), and Histoire des eglises du desert (1841). He also founded and edited several Protestant publications. 7 1/8 x 9 ¼ stampless cover (integral address panel). Condition: Mailing fold lines, light soil, remnants of wax seal and a small piece missing from one blank corner of the sheet. Generally good condition with a bold signature.
