The abbe Emmanuel Joseph Sieyes (1748-1836) distinguished himself
as the chief theoretician of the French Revolution--and as a
revolutionary constitutional and social theorist in his own
right--through his rigorously analytical theory of representative
government and its corollary, the representative character of
social life in general. He expressed the essence of his thought in
a series of three pamphlets published in the months leading up to
the meeting of the Estates-General in 1789. This volume presents
all three essays-- Views of the Executive Means , An Essay on
Privileges , and What Is the Third Estate? --in their entirety. The
third essay, in a new translation by Michael Sonenscher, is
followed by Sieyes's 1791 newspaper debate with Tom Paine on the
merits of monarchy versus republicanism. Elucidated by Sonenscher's
insightful Introduction, these texts will fascinate anyone
interested in the history of the French Revolution, the history of
social and political thought, or the origins and character of
modern liberalism.
