Type de matériel :
TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2017.
Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Sieyes is under the Directory one of the intellectuals whose thought best expresses the ambiguities of liberalism. Confronted with the problem of preserving the republican order, he must manage both theoretically and practically the transition from a revolutionary logic to a conservative position aimed at protecting the political-institutional system born from the revolution. Thus, the equivocality of his intellectual journey springs from the distinction between the liberal principles applicable to a pacified society and the illiberal methods that the State assumes to use against those it identifies as its enemies.JEL Codes :?B11, B12, B31
