Excerpt from Philosophie de la Révolution Française Nous n'avons pas eu la présomption, dans ce petit écrit de donner une théorie nouvelle de la révolu tion française; nous nous sommes proposé un but plus modeste, et plus utile recueillir et résumer, en les ac compagnant d'une sobre critique, toutes les Opinions de quelque importance émises par les différentes écoles politiques sur le sens, la portée, les bienfaits ou les conséquences funestes de ce grand événement. C'est ce que nous appelons la philosophie de la révolution fran çaise, c'est l'histoire de cette philosophie qui sera l'objet de notre travail.

Paul Janet was born in Paris, France on the 30th of April 1823.
He was professor of moral philosophy at Bourges (1845-1848) and Strassburg (1848-1857), and of logic at the Lycee Louis-le-Grand, Paris (1857-1864). In 1864 he was appointed to the chair of philosophy at the Sorbonne, and elected a member of the academy of the moral and political sciences.
He wrote a large number of books and articles upon philosophy, politics and ethics, on idealistic lines: La Famille, Histoire de la philosophic dans I'antiquite et dans le temps moderne, Histoire de la science politique, Philosophic de la Revolution Francaise. They are not characterized by much originality of thought.
In philosophy he was a follower of Victor Cousin, and through him of Hegel. His principal work in this line, Theorie de la morale, is little more than a somewhat patronizing reproduction of Kant.
