François Evellin

François Evellin , born with Nantes the December 15th 1835 and died in Paris the April 21st 1910, is a French philosopher.

Entered with the National university in 1861, it is aggregate of philosophy in 1865 and obtains its doctorate in 1880. He is professor of philosophy to the colleges of Nice, Lille and Bordeaux, then with the colleges Louis-the-Large and Charlemagne of Paris. Starting from 1883, he is inspector of the Academy of Paris and general inspector to the ministry for the State education. He is elected member of the Academy of Science morals and political in 1908.

Its two principal works were analyzed in the philosophical Revue of France and abroad , which summarized thus its work in 1910:

It begin with its book Infini and Quantity which succeeded of the articles of which several were published in this Revue . Joined together and supplemented, they constitute its principal work, the pure Reason and the discrepancies (1907): titrate a little misleading, because the purpose of Evellin is to destroy partly the theses of Kant. To repudiate the infinite one, to reduce it to indefinite, to reduce in its turn the indefinite one in the humble condition of a product of which finished would be the multiplicand and indefinite the multiplier, to recognize that the indefinite one was born from a right of repetition which imagination assumes and of a capacity of repetition which she exerts, that it has finished its root in: such is the summary of this book of dialectical subtle that Evellin prepared during twenty-five years.
