Joseph de Maistre (1753–1821)
Author of Considerations on France
About the Author
Joseph de Maistre (1753-1821) was a philosopher, writer, lawyer, and diplomat most known for his public support for restoring the French monarchy directly after the French Revolution. He argued that this was the only form of stable government and also believed that the Catholic Church should show more receive state recognition. Some of his most famous writings translated into English include Memoir on the Union of Savoy and Switzerland and The Pope: Considered in His Relations with the Church, Temporal Sovereignties, Separated Churches and the Cause of Civilization. Jack Lively, who passed away in 1998, was professor of politics at Warwick University. His work focused on Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment thought, the study of democracy, and the defense of liberal values of rational political engagement. Some of his works include The Social and Political Thought of Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy, and Utilitarian Logic and Politics. show less
