Life
Alfred Naquet was from the Jews of the Pope in the Comtat from. He studied medicine at the University of Paris and received his doctorate in medicine in 1959 with his dissertation Application de l'analyse chimique à la toxicologie . He then taught as a professor of organic chemistry at the medical faculty . In the same year he became professor of chemistry at the University of Palermo , where he lectured in Italian . His chemistry course was translated into German and then into Russian by FF Lesgaft in 1866. Naquet's basic textbook Principes de chimie fondée sur les théories modern was translated into German by Eugen Sell . In 1867 he was sentenced to 15 months imprisonment for belonging to a secret society and lost his civil rights and his position.
Naquet was a member of Bakunin's International Alliance of Socialist Democracy . In 1869 Naquet was convicted again for his book Religion, propriété, famille , whereupon he fled to Spain . He returned to Paris under the new government of Émile Ollivier . He took an active part in the revolution on September 4, 1870 and became secretary of the National Defense Commission . In 1871 he became a member of the Vaucluse department in the French National Assembly . There he belonged to the extreme left and consistently opposed the opportunist policies of the following governments. After being re-elected to the Chamber of Deputies , he became known for his agitation against the marriage laws. His proposal to reinstate divorce was discussed in 1879, 1881, 1882 and became law in 1884. For this he was elected to the Senate in 1883 , although he was fundamentally against the existence of a second chamber.
In 1890 Naquet resigned his seat in the Senate in order to re-enter the Chamber of Deputies as a member of the Paris 5th arrondissement. He was now with the Boulangists , although numerous anti-Semites such as Lucien Millevoye and Maurice Barrès belonged to the movement. Naquet ensured the exclusion of the propagandists and the propaganda of Édouard Drumont . As a political advisor to Boulanger , he advised him to use violence against the extreme left, so that it was expelled from the Senate. Naquet demanded a revision of the constitution in vain, whereupon he fled to England . After Georges Boulanger's suicide in 1891, Naquet's political influence waned.
In 1893 Naquet was re-elected to the Chamber of Deputies for Vaucluse. In 1895 he lamented the incoherence of anti-Semitism and advocated the integration of Jews into French society. In connection with the Panama scandal , Naquet was the target of an anti-Semitic campaign . Accusations against him were dismissed in court, but he left the Chamber of Deputies in 1898 and retired from political life.
