Intellectual Founders of the Republic

Focusing on the writings and political practices of five influential nineteenth-century intellectuals, this study delves into the roots of modern republicanism in French political culture. By exploring the contributions of Jules Barni, Charles Dupont-White, Emile Littr, Eugène Pelletan, and Etienne Vacherot, the book offers a fresh perspective on the evolution of republican ideas and their impact on contemporary political thought in France.
