More about the book

Marcel Gauchet presents a provocative exploration of Western history, arguing that Christianity represents a pivotal shift away from religious society. He traces this evolution from prophetic Judaism through Christianity, culminating in the emergence of the modern political state. By suggesting that monotheistic religion acted as a social revolution, Gauchet offers profound insights that resonate across various disciplines within the humanities and social sciences, making this work a significant contribution to speculative history.
