He considered himself a "Swedenborg of history" who sought to update the philosophy of Kantian liberalism and individualism for the socio-economic realities of the late nineteenth century, and influenced the sociological method of Émile Durkheim.[3][4][5] Renouvier was born in Montpellier and educated in Paris at the École Polytechnique. Philosophy[edit] Renouvier was the first French philosopher after Nicolas Malebranche to formulate a complete idealistic system, and had a vast influence on the development of French thought. Renouvier became an important influence upon the thought of American psychologist and philosopher William James.
