Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. During the French Revolution, the new Jacobin government had to consolidate its power after overthrowing the Girondists. This book examines the Jacobin program, which aimed to create a classless society in which individuals surrendered themselves entirely to the state, resulting in the loss of personal identity and the suppression of religion, education, and private property. Using extensive primary source material, the author traces the roots of this program to Rousseau's theories and its implementation through a highly centralized and brutal government. The book concludes that this radical experiment, marked by the Reign of Terror, laid the foundation for future totalitarian regimes.
