Joseph de Maistre (1753–1821)
摘要
Joseph de Maistre, born in Chambéry, is, with Louis-Ambroise de Bonald, one of the most vehement opponents of the French Revolution. His 1796 published Considérations sur la France follows Burke’s Considerations on the Revolution in France but surpasses them in vehemence, mainly due to de Maistre’s ultramontane attitudes. In his posthumously published De la souveraineté Populaire, de Maistre polemically deals with Rousseau’s theses, in which he sees the germ of the revolution.
