 Antenati: Hippolyte-Adolphe Taine
Taine cerca qui di esaminare da vicino i mali storici che portarono la Francia al disastro di Sedan e accusa i protagonisti della rivoluzione del 1789 di delirio della ragione.
Taine muove da premesse pregiudiziali rigide, trascura il contesto della politica estera del tempo, cede spesso al vezzo delle formule definitorie, ma l'opera rimane un monumento storico molto robusto.
Taine giunse abbastanza presto alla concezione della storia come psico logia applicata, mentre alle categorie a essa collegate giunse gradualmente, a partire dalla triade di razza, ambiente e momento da cui sarebbero determinate le strutture psichiche primordiali alle quali rapportava ogni situazione storica.

Lemaître gave us this definition when he called Taine a poete-logicien ; M. Bourget likewise when he spoke of Taine's imagination philosophique, and M. Barrès when he said that Taine had the power of dramatizing abstractions.
A comprehensive list of books and articles on Taine is given in HP Thieme's Guide bibliographique de la, litterature française de 1800 a 1906 (Paris, 1907).

 French Comteans: Claude Bernard, Hippolyte Taine and Ernst Renan
The French critic, historian and philosopher, Hippolyte Taine, was born at Vouziers in Ardennes, April 21, 1828.
His positivism was expressed in his critical Les Philosophes françois du dix-neuvième siècle (1857) and also influenced his Philosophie de l'art (1881) and De l'intelligence (1870), in which moral qualities and artistic excellence are explained in purely descriptive, quasi-scientific terms.
Taine's greatest work, Les Origines de la France contemporaine (1875-1894) constitutes the strongest attack yet made on the men and the motives of the French Revolution of 1789.
