In the history of thought, Gabriel Jean Edmond Séailles is one of the names that keeps being returned to.
The record lists Gabriel Jean Edmond Séailles as French philosopher (1852–1922).
Gabriel Jean Edmond Séailles was born at Paris in 1852. His recorded nationality is France. He studied at École Normale Supérieure.
The nineteenth century produced systems on a grand scale, and then the reaction against them.
His academic posts were held at University of Paris.
The discipline keeps its dead in print, because the arguments are still open.
Recognition followed: Officer of the Legion of Honour (1911), Marcelin Guérin Prize (1893), Knight of the Legion of Honour (1901) and Montyon Prize (1886).
That the work was done from France matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Gabriel Jean Edmond Séailles died in 1922, aged 70. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
