"During the French Revolution the French National Institute, including the Class of Moral and Political Sciences (CMPS), was established to replace the abolished Ancien Regime academies. In Minerva's Message Martin Staum explores how what began as the institutionalization of Enlightenment social science culture became a tool to end revolutionary turmoil and establish social order."--BOOK JACKET.

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.
