Work Description
The establishment of a social sciences academy in revolutionary France illustrates the dilemmas of intellectuals attempting to maintain their autonomy while hoping to influence government policy. Vulnerable to Bonaparte's own preferred means of seeking social control, the institutionalization of critical Enlightenment social science culture became an expendable competing project to end revolutionary turmoil.
