Alexander Gunn is a scholarly examination of philosophical evolution in France from the time of Auguste Comte up to the early 20th century, specifically covering the period from the mid-19th century to 1921. The book is written in the early 20th century and aims to provide an organized overview of French philosophical thought within the context of historical events. It discusses the continuous development of key philosophical questions pertaining to science, freedom, progress, ethics, and religion throughout this transformative time in France. The opening of the work sets the stage by acknowledging the continuity of thought from earlier traditions while emphasizing the importance of understanding the socio-political context leading to modern French philosophies. It outlines the significance of the French Revolution and the influence of key thinkers such as Maine de Biran, the Eclectics, the Socialists, and Positivism, highlighting their contributions and the resulting philosophical currents that shaped the discourse in France during the latter half of the 19th century. This introductory chapter discusses the interplay of conservative traditionalism and radical philosophical innovations, establishing a foundation for the in-depth analysis that follows in the subsequent chapters.
