« Et puis tout à coup, le drame. Le geste inévitable, la bavure... ! Un des policiers venus en renfort est soudain pris d'une frénétique envie de dégainer. Dans un hommage ultime à John Mac Lane et à l'inspecteur Harry, il tente le coup de folie, le geste que personne n'attend et qui transforme un policier ordinaire en sauveur de l'humanité. Clint Eastwood et Bruce Willis n'auraient certainement pas fait mieux. Notre héros a le même rictus que les plus grands justiciers, ce fameux mélange ...

From its beginnings, the doctrine of industrialism has inspired writers of varying persuasions. Saint-Simon is often closely associated with it, however, he represents only the socialist variant of the doctrine. By contrast, the variant that relates to liberalism has been virtually overlooked. Jean-Baptiste Say, Benjamin Constant and Joseph Droz, for example, provided crucial elements that would eventually lead two friends, Charles Comte (1782–1837) and Charles Dunoyer (1786–1862), to defi...

The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the work of Frédéric Bastiat (1801-1850), one of the towering intellectual figures of nineteenth century France. More than anyone else of his time, Bastiat personified the struggle of liberalism and science against socialism and utopia. Between 1844 in 1850, his campaign for the idea of liberty and his commitment to the discipline of political economy made him one of the most vigorous champions of economic liberalism in Fra...

In the late 19th century and early part of the 20th, with the coming of age of sociology in France, the idea that there could be a “science” of history was the subject of much and varied debate. The methodological problems surrounding historical knowledge that were debated throughout this period concerned not only scientific history, but the social sciences as well, and sociology more specifically.Although sociology was from its origins in competition with the discipline of history...

The thinking of Antoine-Augustin Cournot has inspired a growing literature in economy and epistemology, but as of yet, his sociological thought has not been explicitly discussed and contextualized within the discipline. From the 1850s to the end of the 1870s, Cournot contributed significantly to the history of French sociology, particularly in the development of one essential idea: that forms of knowledge are intimately linked to the progress of reason. Philosophy, therefore, becomes inter...

Depuis plus de trente ans, Raymond Boudon travaille à développer une sociologie scientifique qui s'inscrit dans la veine des pères fondateurs : Durkheim, Weber, Tocqueville, Pareto, Simmel et les autres. Il s'explique ici sur sa méthode et sa démarche, commente ses thèses sur l'utilisation des mathématiques en sociologie, sur l'éducation, sur l'idéologie,ou encore ses récentes analyses sur les valeurs et la rationalité. Une invitation à la sociologie et peut-être à une autre sociologie, pa...
