In Spanish. "Hippolyte Taine (1828–1893) was a French historian, critic, and philosopher, best known for his deterministic approach to history and literature. A major figure in 19th-century intellectual thought, Taine sought to explain human behavior and cultural developments through scientific principles, emphasizing the influence of race, environment, and historical moment—an approach that significantly shaped the school of positivist historiography."
