metadata.value: The name Ideologues refers to a group of philosophers, psychologists, grammarians, educational
  theorists and medical specialists who for a short period from 1795 to 1805 determined
  the intellectual climate in France and sought to develop a science of ideas (idéologie). The
  Ideologues had a rather reserved attitude to Condillac’s (1714–1780) ideas and his sensualist
  sign theory. They strove for the perfection of language for the needs of thought and of
  scientific knowledge. The connections with the Ideologues can also be discerned in Russia. In
  the educational theory, Jean-Baptiste Maudru (1740–1808) was close to the Ideologues and,
  despite his insufficient knowledge of the Russian language, made some interesting remarks on
  the connection between the language and the national character. According to Maudru and in
  agreement with the Ideologues, different typologies of word order are not just an indication
  of greater or lesser closeness to the natural order. Rather, they indicate differences in national
  character, which manifest themselves in the specific character of individual languages. Maudru
  taught at the military academy in Saint Petersburg and published the first Russian grammar
  in France (Maudru 1802). In his grammar, he sought to link mechanically the specific
  features of languages and of national characters with the climatic influences. His attempt to
  revive the theory of climatic influences was criticized by Karamzin. Karamzin also treated the
  discussion of the metaphoric extension of word meanings as an absurd undertaking, which
  had no place in grammar.
