Henri Temple (born 1 November 1945 in Montpellier, France), is a French professor, lawyer, philosopher and politician. He received a Doctor of Juridical Science from University of Montpellier I with a thesis, "Les Sociétés de fait" (Partnerships by conduct or by estoppel). In 1975, with Jean Calais-Auloy, he cofounded the first Centre of research in consumer protection. From 2000 to 2012, he became the direction of this Centre. He was also an expert close to the United Nations and European Union. He taught in Côte d'Ivoire, United Kingdom, Belgium, Romania, Brasil, Algeria, Spain, Italy. He is an international expert specialised in Economical Law and économics. He is a member of France Arise ("Debout la France"), a Gaullist party founded by Nicolas Dupont-Aignan and is in charge of Foreign Affairs in the shadow Cabinet. He is now well known in several countries for his major contribution to political philosophy with his General theory of the nation (2014). He innovates new concepts as "nationism" (a scientist approach of what a nation is, far from the violent nationalism), or the sociological precautionary principle explaining why and how a population can refuse massive immigration.
