Reclus, (Jean-Jacques-) Élisée
Born March 15, 1830, Saint-Foy-La Grande, Gironde
[Died] July 4, 1905. Bruges. French geographer. Born in the Gironde as the son of a pastor, he studied geography under C. Ritter at the University of Berlin. He actively participated in the Paris Commune, and was arrested and exiled. After that, he published many works on geography, mainly in Switzerland, including Nouvelle Géographie Universelle, La terre et les hommes (19 volumes, 1875-94). His geography shows the influence of Ritter's holistic understanding of nature and humans, but at the same time he positioned humans within nature from an ecological perspective, and considered harmony with the environment under a decentralized or anarchic social system, becoming an ideological pioneer of the current ecological movement. In 1892 he became professor of comparative geography at the University of Brussels.

フランスの地理学者。ジロンド県に牧師の子として生れ,ベルリン大学で C.リッターについて地理学を学んだ。パリ・コミューンに積極的に参加し,捕えられて国外追放になった。その後おもにスイスにあって『新世界地誌,大地と人間』 Nouvelle Géographie Universelle,La terre et les hommes (19巻,1875~94) をはじめ多くの地理学に関する著作を発表した。彼の地理学には自然と人間に関するリッターの全体論的把握の影響がみられるが,同時に生態学的観点から人間を自然の中に位置づけ,分権的または,無政府主義的社会体制のもとでの環境との調和を考え,現在のエコロジー運動の思想的先駆をなした。 1892年ブリュッセル大学の比較地理学の教授になった。
