Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers the first full-length historical account of the popular society of Aix-en-Provence, the Society of Anti-Politics. Born during the French Revolution, this society was dedicated to cultivating public virtues in order to restore political order and social harmony to the city. With meticulous scholarship, the author places the society and its beliefs within the context of Enlightenment thought and Revolutionary fervor. The reader learns about the society's initiatives in the civic life of Aix, its role in the Reign of Terror, and its opposition to the Jacobin Republic. The author illuminates the society's complex political thought, torn between liberal ideals and traditional values. This book ultimately shows how the Society of Anti-Politics embodied the contradictions and limits of popular politics in the French Revolution, offering fresh insights into the complex relationship between democracy, civic virtue, and political violence.
