Biography

From the inside dust jacket cover of his book Evil and Suffering: "Louis Lavelle was born in France in 1883 and died there in 1951, one of the most prominent Christian Philosophers of our time. He was Professor at the College de France; at the Sorbonne; and lectured at German, Italian, Swiss, Belgian and Dutch universities. In 1947 he was recognized for his many philosophical and religious writings, and named to the Academie des sciences morales et politiques. Evil and Suffering is the first of his philosophical works to be published in this country."
