Abstract

Since his studies in philosophy, Charles Waddington (1819â1914) was at the heart of Cousinâs system as the latterâs secretary, disciple, and client for much of his professional career. Encouraged by his teacher to write his Latin thesis on Petrus Ramus and subsequently appointed as professor at the Protestant seminary in Strasbourg, he found himself on the periphery of Cousinianism from a theoretical, geographical, and institutional point of view, as Waddingtonâs object of study was philosophically disqualified in Cousinâs vision of the history of philosophy and his geographical and institutional situation in Strasbourg isolated him from the Parisian scene. Ultimately, Waddington had to wait for thirty years before he could be elected as a professor of the history of ancient philosophy at the Sorbonne, relying on his French thesis on the psychology of Aristotle. The evolution of Waddingtonâs strategic positioning with regard to Renaissance philosophy testifies to the insurmountable tensions that existed between the philosophy of the Renaissance and the French philosophical institution dominated by Cousin. For Waddington, these tensions were also of a philosophical nature, for he remained deeply dependent on the way in which Cousin had read the history of philosophy through the prism of spiritualist eclecticism. My study is focused on Waddingtonâs Renaissance writings, divided into two distinct periods separated by seventeen years: the period of his thesis on Ramus (1844â1855) and that of his lectures on the Renaissance (1872â1878), where he openly distances himself from Cousin and Cousinâs scenario of neutralization of the Renaissance, situated between scholasticism and Cartesianism, while remaining in the orbit of Cousinianism with respect to Cousinâs conception of the history of philosophy. Waddingtonâs correspondence with Cousin sheds valuable light on this dilemma.
