Великата френска буржоазна революция от 1789 г. в рамките на една кратка история на памфлета
In this paper, I turn my attention to two main topics: first, the French Revolution of 1789, which began 230 years, and second, a brief history of the pamphlet. A study of the relationship between these topics sheds light on the intellectual history of modern political thought. On the one hand, we thus discover some leading directions in the development of the media of the written word, which may give rise to divergent and contradictory ideas in the impartial observer. On the other, we stand before the imposing view of the modern political revolution as an epoch-making event involving complete denial of the past system of religious, moral, and juridical values in the name of the people’s all-embracing liberty, defined as the most important value by the radical Enlightenment philosophers in the second half of the eighteenth century.
