Career overview

Payot was born in 1859 in Chamonix. Little is known about his education and academic career; however some sources presents him as a leading figure in lay education [2] and in 1907 he was appointed rector at the Aix-Marseille University in Aix-en-Provence. Payot died in 1940.

According to a summary of minutes taken by the secretary of the faculty at the Ecole Normale, Payot presented his candidacy to the vacant chair in Pedagogy previously held by Professor Ferdinand Buisson. The chair eventually was granted to Émile Durkheim, who was noted as being mainly a sociologist, but the electing council argued that pedagogy was a subject within sociology. Payot received ten votes in the first poll, thereby losing to Malapert, who in turn lost to Durkheim. [3]

Among his most famous books are Éducation de la volonté which in 1909 had been published in no less than 32 editions and subsequently translated into several languages. [4] "La Educación de la Voluntad" traducida al español de la cuarta edición francesa, por Manuel Antón y Ferrándiz; Editorial Daniel Jorro, Madrid calle de la Paz 23, cuarta edición del año 1922.
