Pierre Abelard - Pierre Abelard Pierre Abélard (in English, Peter Abelard) or Abailard (1079 - April 21, 1142) was a French scholastic philosopher. The story of his affair with Heloise has become legendary. He was born at Pallet or Palais, not far from Nantes, in France, the eldest son of a noble Breton family. The name Abaelardus (also written Abailardus, Abaielardus, and in many other ways) is said to be a corruption of Habelardus, substituted by Abelard himself for a nickname ('Bajolardus') given him when a student. As a boy, he learned quickly, and, choosing an academic life instead of the military career usual for one of his birth, acquired the art of dialectic, the contemporary name for philosophy, meaning at that time chiefly the logic of Aristotle transmitted.
Victor Cousin - of the Sorbonne for the Latin oration delivered by him there, in the general concourse of his school competitors. The classical training of the lycée strongly disposed him to literature. He was already known among his compeers for his knowledge of Greek. From the lycée he passed to the Normal School of Paris, where Pierre Laromiguière was then lecturing on philosophy. In the second preface to the Fragmens philosophiques, in which he candidly states the varied philosophical influences of his life, Cousin speaks of the grateful emotion excited by the memory of the day in 18.., when he heard Laromiguière for the first time. "That day decided my whole life." Laromiguière taught the philosophy of John Locke and Etienne Bonnot de Condillac, happily modified on some points, with a clearness and.
Heloise - Heloise The letters of Heloise (1101 - 1162) and Pierre Abelard are among the best known records of early romantic love. Although Heloise was a highly educated young woman, not a great deal is known of her immediate family except that in her letters she implies she is of a lower social standing than Abelard, who was from the nobility. What is known is that she was the ward of an uncle, a canon in Paris, and by the age of 18 she was the student of one of the most popular teachers and philosophers in Paris, Pierre Abelard. In his writings, Abelard tells the story of his seduction of Heloise, their marriage, the birth of a son, Astrolabius English, ("Astrolabe"), and of his castration, after which Heloise entered a convent..

Argenteuil - département of Val-d'Oise. Its population in 2000 was 95,340. Argenteuil was founded as a convent in the 7th century (→ Pierre Abelard, Convent of Argenteuil). The monastery that arose from the convent was destroyed during the French revolution. Today, Argenteuil is known for the asparagus and grapes grown there..
Scholasticism - forgotten. This has been the source of the view of scholastics as a rigid, formalistic, aged and unproper way of doing philosophy. During the catholic scholastic revival in the late 1800s and early 1900s the scholastics were repopularized, but with a kind of narrow focus on certain scholastics and their respective schools of thought, notably Thomas Aquinas. In this context, scholasticism is often used in theology or metaphysics, but not many other areas of inquiry.

Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach - with the study of natural science. His first book, published anonymously, Gedanken über Tod und Unsterblichkeit (1830, 3rd ed. 1876), contains an attack upon personal immortality and an advocacy of the Spinozistic immortality of reabsorption in nature. These principles, combined with his embarrassed manner of public speaking, debarred him from academic advancement. After some years of struggling, during which he published his Geschichte der neueren Philosophie (2 vols., 1833-1837, 2nd ed. 1844), and Abelard und Heloise (1834, 3rd ed. 5877), he married in 1837 and lived a rural existence at Bruckberg near Nürnberg (Nuremberg), supported by his wife's share in a small porcelain factory. In two works of this period, Pierre Bayle (1838) and Philosophie und Christentum (1839), which deal largely with theology, he held that he had proved "that Christianity.
Jacques Pierre Brissot - Jacques Pierre Brissot Jacques Pierre Brissot (January, 1754 - October 31, 1795), who assumed the name of de Warville, was a leading member of the Girondist movement during the French Revolution. He was born at Chartres, where his father was an inn-keeper. Brissot received a good education and entered the office of a lawyer at Paris. His first works, Théorie des lois criminelles (1781) and Bibliothèque philosophique du législateur (1782), were on the philosophy of law, and showed how thoroughly Brissot was imbued with the ethical precepts of Rousseau. The first work was dedicated to Voltaire, and was received by the latter with much favour. Brissot became known as a writer, and was engaged on the Mercure, on the Courrier de l'Europe, and on other papers. Ardently.
Jean-Pierre Abbat - Jean-Pierre Abbat Jean-Pierre Fernand Noël Abbat was born on June 17, 1928 in Le Trait, Normandy to a shipbuilder. He met Marina Lardé at the Sorbonne and they were married. He migrated to the United States in 1953 and, with Dr. Fritz Hartmann, was the first to make polyurethane in the USA. In 1962 Abbat proposed to Norman McCulloch to make a ballistically equivalent bowling pin out of polyurethane foam. Bowling pins were then made out of wood, with two cylindrical voids, and covered with a thin coating. The polyurethane pin would last much longer than the wooden pin. The American Bowling Congress nixed the idea because it would put Brunswick and AMF, the biggest bowling pin makers, out of business. Abbat kept a collection of bowling.
Jean Pierre Rampal - Jean Pierre Rampal Jean Pierre Rampal (January 7, 1922 - May 20, 2000) was a French flute player, seen by many as the greatest of the 20th century. Born in Marseille, France, Rampal was the first to introduce the flute onto the international concert circuit, and the first in modern times to attract international attention and large audiences comparable to those of virtuoso pianists and string players. During his career, he performed with many of the world's most famous orchestras and chamber ensembles. As a chamber musician he collaborated with Isaac Stern and Mstislav Rostropovich and composers such as Francis Poulenc wrote especially for him. He is also notable for having unearthed, arranged, and performed many forgotten works of the Baroque era. During his lifetime, he had.
Jean-Pierre Jeunet - Jean-Pierre Jeunet Jean-Pierre Jeunet (born 1953) is a French film director. Many of Jeunet's earlier films, collaborations with designer and co-director Marc Caro, are set in a dystopic retro-future, culminating in the gritty but charming The City of Lost Children in 1995. The success of City led to an invitation to direct the fourth movie in the Alien series - Alien: Resurrection. Though not well received by critics, Alien: Resurrection brought in money at the box office, and the clout of having a Hollywood film under his belt gave Jeunet free reign on his next project, Amélie. Amélie, a more upbeat story set in Montmartre, was nominated for several Academy Awards. Jeunet deliberately seeks out actors with unusual faces for his films, and frequently uses wide-angle lenses.
Jean Pierre Boyer - Jean Pierre Boyer Jean Pierre Boyer (possibly February 15, 1776 - June 9, 1850) was president of Haiti from 1822 until 1843. Boyer was a freed mulatto, born in Port-au-Prince he worked as a tailor. He fought with Toussaint L'Ouverture from 1792 and reached the rank of captain but turned against him after the victory. After participating in the failed coup of 1799 he fled the island for France, not returning until 1802 with the French under Charles Leclerc. Again he abandoned his erstwhile allies to join the forces of Alexandre Pétion. Old French Haiti split north-south in 1806 following the overthrow of Emperor Jean-Jacques Dessalines into two separate realms of Henri Christophe and Pétion. Boyer was made the successor of Pétion and took control of the.
Jean-Pierre Raffarin - Jean-Pierre Raffarin Jean-Pierre Raffarin (born August 3, 1948) is a French right-wing politician. Born in Poitiers. He studied law at Paris-Assas University and later graduated from the Ecole supérieure de commerce de Paris business school. He has been the Prime Minister since April 2002. He was named by President Jacques Chirac after the victory of the UMP to the legislative elections. His political policy combines communication, authority and neoliberalism. In 2003, he launched the reform of the public retirement scheme and that of the decentralization, which caused many strikes. During the summer of 2003, the country knew an unusual episode of heat wave which caused the death of more than 13,000 people: the perceived late reaction of the governement was reproached to him.
