Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intellectual and philosophical roots of the French Revolution, specifically focusing on the role of prominent thinkers like Voltaire and D'Alembert. The author argues that their ideas, initially aimed at challenging religious dogma, ultimately paved the way for a radical critique of monarchical authority. Through meticulous analysis of historical documents and personal correspondence, the author reveals how the concepts of "Liberty and Equality" gradually shifted from the realm of faith to the sphere of politics. This intellectual transformation, the author contends, fueled a growing resentment towards the perceived despotism of kings and sowed the seeds of revolution. By tracing the evolution of these ideas and their impact on key figures of the Enlightenment, this book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationship between philosophy, politics, and social change. Ultimately, it sheds light on the enduring influence of Enlightenment thought on our understanding of power, freedom, and the legitimacy of political authority.
