Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a thoroughly detailed catechism structured for the purpose of civic education during the nascent days of the French Third Republic. The author, a staunch republican, provides a sharply critical view of monarchies and the indelible link he saw between the two institutions and the ills of French society. The author asserts that only through democratic republicanism can France and other nations achieve freedom, equality and fraternity, avoiding the pitfalls of privilege, arbitrary rule, corruption, inequality, and oppression he believed were inherent to monarchy. He goes on to provide a conversational yet comprehensive explanation of topics such as the separation of church and state, mandatory military service, and free public education, which he considered the essential foundations of a truly just and ethical society. The depth and insight the author brings to these discussions provide timeless principles for structuring a just society and serve as a powerful reminder that the struggle for these ideals is an ongoing one.
