Tra politica e metafisica : gli idéologues e la repubblica ideale

The essay aims to examine the historical-political path of the group of philosophers and intellectuals known as idéologues, from its origins to the end of the French revolutionary decade. Historiography has rediscovered these descendants of philosophes only in relatively recent times, but it has not yet comprehensively examined their political action within the revolutionary context. The study will demonstrate that, thanks to a precise epistemological theory, the group of idéologues was able to give a precise direction to the policy not only French, but also European.
