This book sheds light on the unique aspects of 'communal
liberalism' in Mme de Stael's writings and considers her
contribution to nineteenth-century French liberal political
thought. Focusing notably on the 'Considerations sur les principaux
evenements de la Revolution francaise', it examines the originality
of Stael's liberal philosophy. Rather than contrasting liberalism
with either multiculturalism or republicanism, the book argues that
Stael's communal liberalism challenges the conventions of
nineteenth-century political thought, notably through her assertion
of the need to institutionalize an organic intermediary connecting
the two spheres, an idea later advanced by thinkers such as Jurgen
Habermas. Offering a critical reappraisal of Stael's multifaceted
work, this book assesses the political impact of her work, arguing
that the political influence of the 'Considerations' permeates the
liberal historiography of the French Revolution up to the present
day.
