Page "Lucien Febvre" Paragraph 5

Another influential work of Febvre dealt with Protestantism.

Published in the Revue Historique in 1929, " Une question mal posée " attempted to study popular religion by trying to observe and quantify human behavior.

Through an enormous amount of research, Febvre collected information from various monasteries and chapels to study the influence of new wave philosophy in religion and the clergy's approach to understanding and translating their views to lay people.

Through this work, Febvre became very involved in the field of ethnology, a field of study that quantifies human behavior.

Some critics consider this work to be heavily influenced by Febvre's own views of the surrounding world.
