And this transforms Zharoshenko's "Student" into a luminous personification, unknown up to this time, a type which synthesizes "le type humain." In the work of Veressayev this student is Natasha. Reflection has ripened her mind since her last talk with poor Chekanhov. She has become a regular "mannish woman," having seen and thought a great deal. She has traveled; she has lived in St.
He has his tedious document humain, his miserable little coin de la creation, into which he peers with his microscope. He is to be found at the Librairie Nationale, or at the British Museum, shamelessly reading up his subject.
Religion is the last obstacle, but the time has arrived for its destruction. J'occupe la tribune de l'univers. Je le repete, le genre humain est Dieu, le Peuple Dieu. Quiconque a la debilite de croire en Dieu ne sauroit avoir la sagacite de connaitre le genre humain, le souverain unique," etc. Moniteur of 1793, No. 120. During the night, Robespierre fell, and his life was saved.
So we need not condemn Molière for saying, 'L'ami du genre humain n'est pas du tout mon fait, nor Brunetière for declaring that 'Ni la nature ni l'histoire n'ont en effet voulu que les hommes fussent tous frères. But French Neo-catholicism, a bourgeois movement directed against all the 'ideas of 1789, seems to have adopted the most ferocious kind of chauvinism.

Emile, IV. 181, 182. In this letter he asks also, with the same magnanimous security as the Savoyard Vicar, "of what concern the destiny of the wicked can be to him." Emile, IV. 241, 242. Emile, IV. 243. Condorcet's Progrès de l'Esprit Humain . Oeuv., vi. 276.
"Drame humain et divin! ne sont-ce point des fils qui ramènent le cadavre de leur père
Le coeur humain est un abime qui trompe tous les calculs. It is to be presumed that Colonel de Casimir met friends at the reception given by Governor Rapp in the great rooms of the Rathhaus. For there were many Poles present, and not a few officers of other nationalities. The army indeed that set forth to conquer Russia was not a French-speaking army.
In this connection there is a passage in Condorcet's "Des Progrès de l'esprit humain" which looks as if written as a warning to our age: "the religious zeal shown by philosophers and great men was only a political devotion; and every religion which allows itself to be defended as a belief that may usefully be left to the people, can only hope for an agony more or less prolonged."
