Guyau was inspired by the poetry and philosophy of [[Victor Hugo|Hugo]], [[Pierre Corneille|Corneille]], [[Alfred de Musset|Musset]], [[Epictetus]], [[Plato]], and [[Immanuel Kant|Kant]]. Having received his Bachelor of Arts at only 17 years of age, he translated the ''Handbook'' of Epictetus and taught at the [[Lycée Condorcet]], where he wrote. Following the first attacks of his disease, he went to the South of France, where he remained until his death - he was 31. While in the South, he wrote many philosophical works and much poetry. He was also the son of [[Augustine Tuillerie]], who published the ''Le Tour de France par deux enfants'' in [[1877]] and Gayau's wife published, under the pseudonym of Pierre Ulric, romance briefs for youths. == Bibliography == * ''Essai sur la morale littéraire''. 1873. * ''Première année de lecture courante''. 1875. * ''Morale d'Epicure''. 1878. * ''Morale anglaise contemporaine''. 1879. * ''Vers d'un philosophe''. * ''Problèmes de l'esthétique contemporaine''. 1884. * ''Esquisse d'une morale sans obligation ni sanction''. 1884. * ''Irréligion de l'avenir''. 1886, engl.
