Revolutionary thought

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani places revolutionary thought in the history that the French Revolution opened. Since that event, it has alternated with counter-revolutionary thought, just as neoclassicism alternates with neoromanticism, though the two alternations do not match mechanically1. He calls the nineteenth century the century of revolutions2. For the 2018-2019 season, he makes it the theme of a term and studies it within a sequence he deliberately marks out from Rousseau to Lenin, by way of Kant, Hegel and Marx3. He treats it philosophically, as a totality, and not as a history of ideas4. He therefore does not set out to study each author separately. He aims to bring out the revolutionary continuum that runs through the whole sequence5. In each author, he keeps only what is revolutionary, even where the author is unaware of it6.
