Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fresh perspective on the origins of revolutionary cults during the French Revolution, arguing that they were not artificial constructs but rather a spontaneous expression of a new religious faith. The author traces the evolution of this faith from the philosophical i…deas of the Enlightenment, which emphasized reason and the perfectibility of humankind, to the political and social upheavals of the Revolution itself. Central to this new faith was the belief that the state could and should play an active role in promoting the well-being of its citizens. The book examines how this faith was expressed through symbols such as the tricolor cockade, the Altar of the Fatherland, and the Tree of Liberty, as well as through rituals and ceremonies such as the Federations and the Cult of the Supreme Being. The author concludes that these cults, while short-lived, played a significant role in shaping the course of the Revolution and left a lasting legacy on French political thought.
