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 theory, the CMPS was set up to enshrine the human and social studies that were at the heart of Enlightenment culture. The book illustrates, however, that the Institute helped transform key ideas of the Enlightenment in order to maintain civil rights while upholding social stability, and that the social and political assumptions on which it was based affected notions of social science. The text presents an overview of the intellectual life of the period and brings together evidence about the social sciences in their nascent period.
