Charles Andler

Charles Philippe Théodore Andler (11 March 1866, Strasbourg – 1933) was a French Germanist and philosopher.

Life

Andler was born to a Protestant family in Strasbourg.^[1] In 1887 and 1888, Andler failed to achieve his agrégation in philosophy, judged by Jules Lachelier, inspector-general in charge of philosophy, as showing "excessive bias" towards German philosophy. He therefore changed to take the German literature agrégation in 1889, passing out top of his class.^[2] Andler became professor of German at the Sorbonne in 1901 and at the Collège de France in 1926. Amongst his works were writings on Nietzsche, a commentary on The Communist Manifesto, and a life of his friend Lucien Herr.
