Crown and Constitution
Although monarchy is by far the government form most common in human history, the study of theories of monarchical rule has been largely absent from histories of modern political thought, which hav...
Introduction
I. The conditions created by the French Revolution and its long aftermath placed European monarchy in an unprecedented predicament where resistance to change was not an option consistent with survi...

La utopía clásico-induista, clave del primer conservadurismo religioso
El primer conservadurismo era una corriente política a veces reacia a comunicar sus ideas de manera directa, por lo que frecuentemente se expresaba a través de la historia y de la erudición. Desde las primeras descripciones jesuitas de la India en el siglo XVI hasta el ocaso del misticismo histórico-romántico trescientos años después, este artículo narra la historia de la utopía clásico-indianista que acabaría transmitiendo los ideales del primer…
The Enlightened Conservatism of the Malabar Missions
Few authors of scholarly classics shy away from being acknowledged, but such is the case of the author of Mœurs et coutumes des Indiens (Mores and customs of the Indians) (1777)—the first treatise of Indology and a classic of early anthropology—whose real, Jesuit identity remained obscured for over two centuries. The author’s concealment did not, however, prevent his work’s regular re-editing, or its conveyance of an original methodology that hel…
Spirituality, Politics, and the Maistrian Moment
The French Idea of History: Joseph de Maistre and His Heirs, 1794–1854 (Cornell, 2011) is a monograph by Carolina Armenteros describing the historical thought of Joseph de Maistre (1753–1821) and recounting its posterity among French traditionalist, socialist and positivist thinkers. This article presents Armenteros's reflections on some of her book's themes and on the place they occupy in current scholarly debates. She notes that commentators to…
Royalist medievalisms in the age of revolution
This essay examines the histories of the French monarchy composed by French royalists of the period 1787-1831 with a threefold aim: to develop a model of how French royalist medievalisms evolved from Revolution to Restoration; to investigate whether the French Revolution altered perceptions of the Middle Ages; and to elaborate a theory of the relationship between medievalism and politics. The exercise is especially revelatory when studying period…

True Love’ and Rousseau’s Philosophy of History
Rousseau, a philosopher of history? The suggestion may startle those who know him as an enemy of history, the founder of Counter-Enlightenment who rejected his century’s hope in progress and conjured quasi-utopias devoid of time. Alone, the political texts seem to justify this interpretation. Side by side with the Emile and Julie sagas, however, they disclose a new Rousseau, the weaver of a master plot that governs private and public history. Thi…
Joseph de Maistre and his European Readers
Long known solely as fascism’s precursor, Joseph de Maistre (1753-1821) re-emerges in this volume as a versatile thinker with a colossally diverse posterity whose continuing relevance in Europe is ensured by his theorization of the encounter between tradition and modernity

French Political Thought from Montesquieu to Tocqueville
Conventional wisdom, both scholarly and popular, has long held that the French Revolution democratized France's political culture immediately and extensively. This well-established opinion is powerfully challenged in Annelien De Dijn's new book. Taking on François Furet and Pierre Rosanvallon, De Dijn argues that the Rousseauian and Jacobin idea of liberty as popular self-government triumphed in France relatively late. Throughout the nineteenth c…
From Human Nature to Normal Humanity
In 1798 the French Directory began to collect moral statistics systematically for the first time in history. The bureaucratic and scientific developments that preceded this policy are well known. Yet the reasons for its abrupt adoption, and the intellectual origins of moral statistics (as distinguished from the topographical statistics previously practiced), have until now remained obscure. This paper contends that, in the aftermath of the Terror…
