Excerpt from Les Sophistes Français Et la Révolution Européenne: Les Hommes de Génie, les Hommes d'Esprit, Et les Sectaires de l'Ancien Régime
Depuis mille ans à travers toutes ses luttes, la France ne s'était arrêtée de grandir, et, subitement, il se fait en elle un bouleversement tel, que des esprits éclairés ont pu se figurer que tout était abus et tyrannie dans la France d'autrefois, et que la France nouvelle a ouvert un horizon ensoleillé de droits et de libertés, de richesse et de prospérité à l'humanité entière.
Mirage décevant pas une de ces libertés qui ne soit un leurre, pas un de ces droits qui ne soit une illusion, pas une de ces richesses qui ne soulève des haines, pas une de ces prospérités qui ne voile des misères.
Il n'est point de peuple chez qui la sophistique ait produit des effets plus profonds il n'en est pas chez qui elle ait eu comme conséquence tout ensemble un aveu glemont plus complet, des assurances plus sereines et des actes plus terribles.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that the sophists of the 18th century created a new sophism of their own, despite attacking the Greeks for their errors. This work exposes the sophists of today, in three stages: first, it details how the sophists, namely Descartes and Pascal, established their own errors; second, it explains how these errors were handed down to the sophists of the 18th century; third, it demonstrates how the modern sophists have used these ideas to achieve their own ends. The author examines the impact of these errors, demonstrating their gravity and destructive potential.
