课程描述
一个半世纪之前，托克维尔（Alexis de Tocqueville）提出， 1789年法国革命是长期行政和社会变革的顶点，而不是与过去的决裂。在课程中，我们将通过研究从“太阳王”路易十四到拿破仑·波拿巴的统治中法国历程的四方面来讲述托克维尔的见解：绝对主义，启蒙运动，大革命和帝国。通过研究一手和二手资料，我们将看到在一个半世纪以来，法国的物质生活、精神世界、个人和公共身份是如何变化的。
A century and a half ago, Alexis de Tocqueville argued that the Revolution of 1789 in France constituted the culmination of long-term administrative and social changes, rather than a rupture with the past. In this class, we will consider that Tocquevillian insight by examining four aspects of French experience from the reign of the Sun King, Louis XIV, to the rule of the Emperor Napoléon Bonaparte: Absolutism, Enlightenment, Revolution, and Empire. Through the study of primary and secondary sources, we will see how the material lives, mental worlds, and individual and communal identities of the French changed over this century and a half.
