The aim of philosophy is to seek the explanation of all things: the quest is for the first causes of everything, and also how all things are, and finally why, with what design, with a view to what, things are. That is why, taking "principle" in all the senses of the word, it has been called the science of first principles. Philosophy has always existed. Religions-all religions-are philosophies. They are indeed the most complete. But, apart from religions, men have sought the causes and principles of everything and endeavoured to acquire general ideas. These researches apart from religious dogmas in pagan antiquity are the only ones with which we are here to be concerned. Faguet was born at La Roche-sur-Yon, Vendée, and educated at the École normale supérieure in Paris. After teaching for some time in La Rochelle and Bordeaux, he returned to Paris to act as assistant professor of poetry in the university. Faguet became professor in 1897. He was elected to the Académie française in 1900, and received the ribbon of the Légion d'honneur in the next year. Faguet acted as dramatic critic to the Soleil; from 1892 he was literary critic to the Revue Bleue; and in 1896 took the place of Jules Lemaître on the Journal des débats. Faguet died in Paris, aged 68.

On sait que la Providence s'amuse, le monde, à ce qu'assurent les Védas, étant une des trente-quatre comédies qui servent à ses plaisirs. Elle a des divertissements malicieux. Elle se plaît à dérouter nos prévisions et à confondre nos calculs. Un de ses tours assez fréquents est de déplacer, pour ainsi parler, les hommes d'esprit, de mettre en un siècle tel homme qui était fait évidemment pour être d'un autre, et qui, dans celui où il naît, est tout dérouté et ne se reconnaît pas lui-même. Cette mésaventure, qui n'est pas sans compensation, est arrivée à Stendhal. C'est un déplacé. Il est, dans notre première moitié du XIXe siècle, comme dans une maison dont il ne connaît pas les êtres, et dans un costume qu'il n'était point fait pour porter. Il en a gardé de l'humeur, et y a contracté une certaine bizarrerie, et d'assez mauvaises façons; mais il n'en est pas moins très intéressant. Les déplacés sont aussi curieux à étudier que les déclassés. Stendhal, qui a été un peu l'un et l'autre, excite et renouvelle constamment l'attention. On cherche chez lui l'effet qu'a pu faire, sur un homme de valeur du reste, un temps qui lui était contraire, et dont il était presque le contraire même. C'est un témoin véridique et désorienté. On sent qu'il ne peut pas dire des choses banales, et, en effet, ce n'est point son défaut. Interrogeons donc cet étranger, questionnons cet anachronisme, cet homme qui était comme forcé d'être original, et qui, en effet, l'a été, malgré l'effort continuel qu'il faisait pour l'être...

Théophile de Viau ou de Viaud, qui, de son temps même, était appelé couramment Théophile, et qui signait ainsi lui-même ses lettres et ses préfaces, était né en 1590 à Clairac en Agénois (Lot-et-Garonne). On l'accusait d'être plébéien, très plébéien, fils d'un cabaretier, comme plus tard Rivarol. Il assurait, - et maintenant c'est à peu près prouvé, - qu'il était noble, fils d'un jurisconsulte et petit-fils d'un secrétaire de la reine de Navarre. Les Viau-Bellegarde actuels ont de bonnes raisons de croire qu'ils sont les descendants de la soeur de Théophile, Mme de Bellegarde. Il vint à vingt ans à Paris chercher fortune, en bon cadet de Gascogne, et y arriva tout juste dans le temps de la mort d'Henri IV. Il y mena, de son propre aveu, une vie très dissipée. Cependant il ne laissa pas de lier amitié avec un jeune homme très distingué et assez sage qui s'appelait Louis Guez et qui devait s'appeler plus tard M. de Balzac. En 1612, il fît voyage en Hollande avec Guez...

Cet volume est destiné, comme sont titre l'indique, à tracer la voie au débutant, à satisfaire déjà et surtout à exciter les premières curiosités. Il donne une idée suffisante de la marche des faits et des idées. Il mène le lecteur, un peu rapidement, des origines les plus reculées aux derniers efforts de l'esprit humain. Il peut être un répertoire commode auquel l'esprit général d'une époque, ce qui la rattache à celle qui la suit et à celle qui la précède. Il veut surtout être un cadre dans lequel s'inscriront commodément, au cours d'études ultérieures, de nouvelles notions plus détaillées et plus approfondies. Il aura rempli son dessein s'il excite aux recherches et aux méditations et s'il y prépare d'une façon juste.

" Saint-Simon est un rare exemple d'incohérence dans la vie, d'incohérence dans la caractère, d'incohérence dans les idées de détail, et de fixité dans l'idée maîtresse; - autrement dit, c'est un fou - très exactement, beaucoup plus nettement que Rousseau lui-même, mais c'est un fou très intelligent, comme il arrive; qui a eu comme l'intuition de ce qui devait être le plus grand objet des préoccupations du siècle; et il n'est personne qui soit plus intéressant à étudier. Il est comme un germe. Tout l'arbre est en lui, et l'on ne connaît complètement l'arbre qu'en prenant du germe une connaissance aussi précise que possible. Incohérence dans la vie. Soldat, et bon soldat, officier et officier de mérite, trafiquant, entrepreneur, agronome, millionnaire oisif, fastueux et débauché, gueux manquant de pain, scribe au Mont-de-Piété, besoigneux nourri par un de ses anciens domestiques, journaliste, pamphlétaire, philosophe, fondateur de religion, à peu près dieu après sa mort, il n'est aucune situation de fortune qu'il n'ait traversée, ni forme d'existence qu'il n'ait prise. Il a beaucoup souffert; mais il n'a pas dû s'ennuyer; d'autant plus qu'en quelque état qu'il fût, il pensait toujours..."
