View full profile →

Ernest Renan (1823–1892) was a French philosopher, historian, and philologist, best known for his critical historical studies of early Christianity and his reflections on national identity. A former seminarian who lost his Catholic faith, he sought to reconcile science with spirituality, arguing that religion evolves through human culture. His works, such as 'Life of Jesus' and 'What Is a Nation?', exemplify his blend of erudition, skepticism, and poetic idealism.
