Clarisse Coignet
|
Clarisse Coignet (1823-1918) is a French moral philosopher, educator, and historian.
|
She was also associated with the social and political movement called "La Morale independante", which advanced the idea that morality is independent from science and religion.
|
Coignet was born in Montagney, a commune of Rougemont.
|
Her father Joseph Gauthier, was a master blacksmith while her mother Virginie Génisset was a professor of Latin literature at a university in Besançon.
|
She was also the niece of the writer and a cousin of Victor Considerant.
|
In 1850, Coignet married Francois Coignet, a noted French civil engineer and industrialist.
|
The couple had three children, including Lucy Coignet, the wife of Count Gérando-Teleki.
|
Coignet is considered an important figure in the French socio-political movement called "La Morale independente", which emerged in the 18th century.
|
Particularly, she exerted her influence when she became the editor of the newspaper that promoted its agenda, which focused on the liberal ideals of the French Revolution and the secularization of education.
|
Coignet's early works had been influenced by the reform of the French educational system after the proclamation of the French Third Republic.
|
This is, for example, demonstrated in her defense of the public education published in 1856 as well as her account of the life of Elisa Grimailh Lemonnier, an educator who founded professional schools for young women.
|
In 1873, she criticized Catholicism as "the most powerful expression of intellectual despotism the human mind has ever presented".
|
Coignet is also known for her biographical account of her relatives, such as Clarisse Vigoureux and her cousin Victor and his socialist politics.
|
Coignet proposed her idea of evolving independent morality, which reflected the issues addressed in the philosophical discussions of her time.
|
Her main argument was that morality should not be grounded in science or religion since it is produced by humans.
|
She primarily explored this theory in the published work called "La Morale independante dans son principe et son objet" (1869), which was also partly influenced by Immanuel Kant.
|
This work emerged out of her writings for the "La Morale independante" newspaper.
|
Coignet's theory identified the concept of freedom as the basis of internal morality, one that is distinguished from external morality, which is derived from philosophy or natural science.
|
This was explained in the case of a tribal chief who constantly beats his wife.
|
The woman puts a stop to it when she realized her worth and her freedom, allowing her to regard her husband with reproach, awakening his conscience as a result.
|
According to the thinker, freedom is an irreducible first principle of human existence and, hence, of moral science.
|
Coignet further clarified her arguments on morality and religion in the book "De Kant a Bergson: reconciliation de la religion et de la science dans un spiritualisme nouveu" (1911).

|
The deep No.
|
2 shaft and No.
|
3 shaft were located on either side of the engine house.
|
The 1866 engine house contained a central ventilator and the winding engine was from local iron founder's Nasmyth Wilson, which powered a 30-inch by 54-inch winder.
|
It wound one cage in each shaft and the winding drum had a stepped and diameter to cater for the differing depths.
|
The 1800s wooden headgear was replaced with metal structures in the 20th century, with one surviving until 1955.
|
At least one of the shafts intersected the underground canal of the Worsley Navigable Levels, and although coal winding ceased in 1921 it was retained for water pumping and ventilation.
|
The colliery was served by the Bridgewater Collieries Railway, which connected other lines such as the LNWR and also to the Bridgewater Canal.
|
The Walkden Yard maintenance depot was later constructed on the western side of the pit.
|
The Walkden offices of the company were also located to the southwest of the site.
|
Bridgewater merged with others to form Manchester Collieries in 1929.
|
The electrification of Ellesmere engine plant in 1936 led to the closure of the nearby Roughfield Colliery.
|
Pumping continued until 1968 and after the National Coal Board demolished the buildings at both sites and the shafts were filled-in.
|
Sometime later a violent explosion occurred in a house in Walkden caused by firedamp accumulating underground and eventually forcing its way to the surface.
|
To prevent a recurrence a borehole was drilled down No.1 shaft and a methane extraction plant built at the top.
