Frederic Rauh

Frederic Rauh is a Philosophe French (Saint-Martin-the-Vinoux, Isere, 1861 - Paris, 1909). Professor in Toulouse then in Paris, the word of Rauh was very appreciated, in particular at the French company of philosophy. Moralist, marked by positivism, it was interested in sociology and metaphysics of manners. Its pupil, Rene the Seine, prolonged in a different direction, the question of the " experiment morale" developed by its Master (cf Treated of general morals).

He militated at the end of the century in the Dreyfus business, according to him dramatic miscarriage of justice, affirming that philosophy, it is " the street, life, the battle from day to day " ;

Its philosophy

For Rauh, the moral idea is never désincarnée but " spaciale, irréductible". Thus, morals does not result from any metaphysical report/ratio but from a confrontation of what it calls values of civilization (scientific or artistic). The moral man, according to Rauh, confronts these values between them. Thus, the moral idea is anything else only the choice which results from it.
