Renan was known for his contributions to the fields of history, philosophy, and religion, and Duff's book provides a comprehensive overview of his life and achievements. The book covers Renan's early years, his education, his literary career, and his philosophical and religious beliefs. Duff also discusses Renan's controversial views on religion, which led to him being accused of blasphemy and heresy, and his impact on the intellectual and cultural landscape of France. Overall, Ernest Renan: In Memoriam is a thoughtful and insightful tribute to one of the most important thinkers of the 19th century.Ernest Renan Was Born In 1823, At Tr�����guier In Brittany. He Was Educated For The Priesthood, But Never Took Orders, Turning At First To Teaching. He Continued His Studies In Religion And Philology, And, After Traveling In Syria On A Government Commission, He Returned To Paris And Became Professor Of Hebrew In The College De France, From Which He Was Suspended For A Time On Account Of Protests Against His Heretical Teachings. He Died In 1892. Renan�������s Activity Divides Itself Into Two Parts. The First Culminated In His Two Great Works On The Origins Of Christianity And On The History Of Israel. As To The Scientific Value Of These Books There Is Difference Of Opinion, As Was To Be Expected In A Treatment Of Such Subjects To The Exclusion Of The Miraculous. But The Delicacy And Vividness Of His Portraits Of The Great Personalities Of Hebrew History, And The Acuteness Of His Analysis Of National Psychology, Are Not To Be Denied.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
