| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to clarify the religious and educational thought of Ferdinand Buisson (1841-1932) in his youth, particularly in Sitzerland (Neuchatel), for the study to analyze the role of Buisson in the Educational Reform of the Third Republic. In his younger days, Buisson formed his religious conviction -un evangeliste liberal -through the polemics with orthodoxes in la Chapelle Taibout, a protestant evangelical church in Paris. And getting acquainted with republicans, he made a firm decision to be a liberal republican. Under the Second French Empire, he could not follow the teaching profession. He found a refuge in Sitzerland (Neuchatel). After fleeing to Neuchatel, he declared successively his opinions on education, laicisation de l'education, namely, abolition of the enseignement de l'histoire sainte -biblical education by teacher or pastor in the primary school -in the primary education, and introduction of the civic education -education about right, duty, humanity, solidarity, etc. -in the primary education. This plan will be a theoretical root of Laicisation de l'Education in the Educational Reform -the so-called l'oeuvre scolaire de Jules Ferry -of the Third Republic.
