Jean-Marie Guyau |
|||||||||
Jean-Marie Guyau (October 28, 1854 - March 31, 1888) was a French philosopher and poet.
Inspired by poetry and philosophy, he read all the large texts with a preference for Hugo, Corneille, Musset, Epictetus, Plato, and Kant. Bachelor of arts at 17 years, he translated the Handbook of Epictetus.
He taught at the Lycée Condorcet, where he wrote teaching works, and following the first attacks of disease, he went to the South of France, where he remained till his relatively young death at the age of 31. While there he wrote many philosophical works and much poetry.
He was the son of Augustine Tuillerie, who published the Le Tour de France par deux enfants in 1877. His wife published, under the pseudonym of Pierre Ulric, Romance briefs for youth.
