Paul Masson-Oursel (5 September 1882 – 18 March 1956) was a French orientalist and philosopher, a pioneer of 'comparative philosophy'. Masson-Oursel was a student of Lucien Lévy-Bruhl, Henri Bergson, Emile Durkheim, Pierre Janet, André Lalande, Marcel Mauss. With Sylvain Lévy, Alfred Foucher, Chavannes, Clement Huart, he learned Sankrit, Tibetan, Chinese, Arab. ''La Philosophie Comparée'', his Sorbonne doctoral dissertation, attempted to apply Comtean positivism and a comparative method which identified 'analogies' between the philosophies of Europe, India and China.〔Joseph Kaipayil, ''The Epistemology of Comparative Philosophy: A Critique with Reference to P.T. Raju's Views'', 1995, p.8-9〕 Masson-Oursel argued that "philosophy cannot achieve positivity so long as its investigations are restricted to the thought of our own civilization", since "no one philosophy has the right to put itself forward as co-extensive with the human mind".〔''Comparative Philosophy'', pp. 33, 35. Quoted in John James Clarke, ''Oriental enlightenment: the encounter between Asian and Western thought'', Routledge, 1997, pp.121-2〕 Masson-Oursel died in Paris.
