Encyclopedic overview
Jules François Simon ( French: [ʒyl simɔ̃]; 31 December 1814 – 8 June 1896) was a French statesman and philosopher, and one of the leaders of the Moderate Republicans in the Third French Republic.
Acclaimed during his lifetime by several intellectual circles, he was, according to Marc Angenot, a true 'intellectual mentor' for the 'bourgeois and petty-bourgeois masses' of the late 19th century.
