Ernest Renan  

Definition

  • Ernest Renan was one of the most widely read French authors of the nineteenth century, which is remarkable given that he was committed to the life of the research scholar. When he did choose to comment on current affairs, his sometimes ambiguous political positions made him an author particularly prone to misinterpretation. [Source: Encyclopedia of Political Theory; Renan, Ernest (1823–1892)]
