Summary From the beginning of the French Revolution in July 1789 until the end of the Terror five years later, those involved sought to devise survival strategies according to their personal beliefs and goals. The acceleration of time coupled with the lack of reliable information made it extremely difficult to choose the wisest course of action, causing some to flee into exile, while others remained in France. Surviving the French Revolution: A Bridge across Time, by Bette Oliver, is an essential contribution to our understanding.

Mourning sickness [electronic resource] : Hegel and the French Revolution / Rebecca Comay.

2024-05-09T12:20:22Z

by Comay, Rebecca.
Call Number 193 22
Publication Date 2011
Summary "This book explores Hegel's response to the French Revolutionary Terror and its impact on Germany. Like many of his contemporaries, Hegel was struck by the seeming parallel between the political upheaval in France and the upheaval in German philosophy inaugurated by the Protestant Reformation and brought to a climax by German Idealism. Many thinkers reasoned that a political revolution would be unnecessary in Germany, because this intellectual "revolution" had preempted it. Having already been through its own cataclysm, Germany would be able to extract the energy of the Revolution and channel its radicalism into thought. Hegel comes close to making such an argument too. But he also offers a powerful analysis of how this kind of secondhand history gets generated in the first place, and shows what is stake."--Publisher.

The influence of the French Revolution on the lives and thought of John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Edmund Buke, Mary Wollstonecraft, Immanuel Kant, and Pius VI [electronic resource] : the end of conservatism / Jeffrey J. Langan ; with a preface by E. Michael Jones.

2024-05-09T12:20:22Z

by Langan, Jeffrey, 1970-
Call Number 944.04 23
Publication Date 2012
Summary Langan discusses the French Revolution from a variety of perspectives given by influential thinkers of the late 18th century. His thesis is that conservatism was forever changed by the French Revolution, and that conservatism's modern origins are in direct response to the revolution and its ideals as they were critically examined by Edmund Burke. As Langan argues, conservatives tend to adopt intellectual categories which if taken to their natural conclusions lead to liberal results.
