Description
  Publication Date: March 23, 2014
  Historians of the
French Revolution used to take for granted what was also obvious to its contemporary observers—that the
Revolution was caused by the radical ideas of the Enlightenment. Yet in recent decades scholars have argued that the
Revolution was brought about by social forces, politics, economics, or culture—almost anything but abstract
notions like liberty or equality. In Revolutionary Ideas, one of the world’s leading historians of the
Enlightenment restores the Revolution’s intellectual history to its rightful central role. Drawing widely on
primary sources, Jonathan Israel shows how the Revolution was set in motion by radical eighteenth-century doctrines, how
these ideas divided revolutionary leaders into vehemently opposed ideological blocs, and how these clashes drove the
turning points of the Revolution.
  Revolutionary Ideas demonstrates that the Revolution was really three different
revolutions vying for supremacy—a conflict between constitutional monarchists such as Lafayette who advocated
moderate Enlightenment ideas; democratic republicans allied to Tom Paine who fought for Radical Enlightenment ideas; and
authoritarian populists, such as Robespierre, who violently rejected key Enlightenment ideas and should ultimately be
seen as Counter-Enlightenment figures. The book tells how the fierce rivalry between these groups shaped the course of
the Revolution, from the Declaration of Rights, through liberal monarchism and democratic republicanism, to the Terror
and the Post-Thermidor reaction.
  In this compelling account, the French Revolution stands once again as a
culmination of the emancipatory and democratic ideals of the Enlightenment. That it ended in the Terror represented a
betrayal of those ideas—not their fulfillment.
  
  Reviews
  "Dumas would have found a great deal to appreciate in Jonathan Israel's
Revolutionary Ideas."--David A. Bell, New York Review of Books
  
 
"Closely argued. . . . Israel can be understood as a historian in the long liberal tradition stretching back to Madame
de Stael, who herself witnessed the revolution and saw it as a story of the betrayal of liberty."--Ruth Scurr, Wall Street Journal
  
  "Provocative and unrelenting."--Lynn Hunt, New Republic
  
  "With typical boldness Israel invites us to
reconceptualise our very idea of the Revolution."--Jeremy Jennings, Standpoint
  
  "Overwhelmingly impressive."--Peter Watson, Times
  
 
"Packed with details . . . [Revolutionary Ideas] is part of Israel's major project to give the Enlightenment, especially
the Radical Enlightenment as he calls it, new luster."--NRC Handelsblad
  
  "Majestic."--Dr. Selwyn R. Cudjoe, Trinidad and Tobago News
  
 
From the Inside Flap
  "Combining erudition and verve, Revolutionary Ideas
is an exciting, bold, valuable, and courageous book that should have a wide readership. A veritable tour de force, it
fundamentally reconceptualizes the French Revolution. Arguing that ideas caused the revolution, propelled it forward,
and constituted its essence, Jonathan Israel provides a wealth of detail about the little-known but fascinating
characters who made up the radical wing of the revolutionary leadership."--Helena Rosenblatt,
the Graduate Center, City University of New York
  
  "There is nothing else quite like this book.
It not only crowns one of the major individual history projects of the past century but also serves as a stimulus to
fresh debate on the greatest and most fundamentally important of all revolutions."--William
Doyle, author of The Oxford History of the French Revolution
