Chevret, Jean
Jean Chevret (March 15, 1747 - August 5, 1820) was a French librarian, moralist, and philosopher active during the French Revolution (1789 - 1799) and Napoleonic Era (1799 - 1815). Chevret was born in Meulan, France. In 1765, he served as a librarian at the Bibliothèque du Roi (Bibliothèque Nationale, post-Revolution). His philosophical thought focused on the exploration of metaphysical themes related to the divine dimensions of love, offering a synthesis of religious doctrine and French Enlightenment rationalism. More particularly, he focused on the relationship between nature, religion, love, and education. In 1791, Chevret presented before the National Assembly a religio-philosophical-metaphysical model for a new religion that embodied the ideals of the French Revolution, but despite some support, it was never formally adopted.
