Louis de Bonald was born at Monna Castle in 1754. His recorded nationality is France. He studied at College of Juilly.
Enlightenment argument moved philosophy into public life: it was now about government, rights and religion as much as metaphysics.
A philosophical position survives not by being proved but by resisting every attempt to dispose of it.

That the work was done from France matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Louis de Bonald died in 1840, aged 86. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
