Alfred Fouillée

Alfred Fouillée was a French philosopher and political thinker of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is best known for developing the concept of "moral idea," which suggests that individual morality is rooted in collective cultural ideals that evolve over time. Fouillée emphasized the importance of history, culture, and ideas in shaping society and believed that understanding these moral ideals is essential for progress. His work integrated philosophy, history, and political theory, contributing significantly to discussions on ethics, national identity, and social development.
