The Political Thought of the Marquis d’Argenson

Conference given by Andrew Jainchill, invited to the European Studies Research Seminars, orgagnized by the P.C. Hoofthuis te Amsterdam

Jainchills abstract luidt als volgt: “The marquis d’Argenson was an important eighteenth-century political thinker and politician who was widely read in his own day (most famously by Rousseau), but has remained surprisingly neglected by historians of eighteenth-century France. Using both his published and unpublished writings, I will analyze d’Argenson’s ideas for reforming the French monarchy and discuss their place in the development of eighteenth-century French political thought.“

De lezing vindt plaats in het kader van de European Studies Research Seminars.
