Elme Marie Caro was born at Poitiers in 1826. His recorded nationality is France. He studied at École Normale Supérieure and Collège Stanislas de Paris.

Philosophical influence is measured in the questions a thinker made unavoidable.
The honours record reads: Officer of the Legion of Honour, Montyon Prize (1865) and Bordin Prize (1867).
