Book summary

Hecht chronicles a profound shift in thinking that occurred in France during the 19th century, in which the country switched from a Christian republic to a more secular society. THE END OF THE SOUL looks at key figures and events that drove this secularization, from the Society of Anthropology to new theories about human physiognomy and its influence on human nature.

Media reviews
