| Zusammenfassung: | "France before 1789 presents the main features of the prodigiously complex social system of the ancien regime which proceeded the French Revolution. In doing so Jon Elster goes beyond formal institutions to show how they worked in practice. He draws on a host of examples and contemporary texts to illuminate the perverse and sometimes pathological effects of this system and seeks to provide a detailed analysis of the political institutions that undergirded it. Whereas Tocqueville, in his famous analysis of the ancient regime, wanted to understand the old regime as a prelude to revolution, Elster views it as a prelude to constitution-making prompted by and intended to resolve these perversities. He views these as overlapping, yet important enough to render distinct. In addition to defending a particular set of substantive propositions about the conditions which led to the Constituent Assembly, Elster argues for a specific methodological approach to history, which emphasizes supplementing the historian's craft with approaches from the social sciences. Ultimately, he does not claim to answer the historians' questions better than they do. But he does aspire to ask and sometimes answer questions that historians have not formulated in order to better understand one of the most significant examples of collective decision-making history offers us"-- |

France before 1789 traces the historical origins of France’s National Constituent Assembly of 1789, providing a vivid portrait of the ancien regime and its complex social system in the decades before the French Revolution. Jon Elster writes in the spirit of Alexis de Tocqueville, who described this tumultuous era with an eye toward individual and group psychology and the functioning of institutions. Whereas Tocqueville saw the old regime as a breeding ground for revolution, Elster, more specifically, identifies the rural and urban conflicts that fueled the constitution - making process from 1789 to 1791. He presents a new approach to history writing, cme that supplements the historian’s craft with the tools and insights of modan social science. Elster draws on important French and Anglo-American scholarship as well as a treasure trove of historical evidence from the period, such as the Memoirs of Saint-Simon, the letters ofMadame de Sévigné, the journals ofthe lawyer Barbier and the bookseller Hardy, the Remonstrances of Malesherbes, and La Bruyères maxims. Masterfully written and unparalleled in scope, France before 1789 is the first volume of a trilogy that promises to transform our understanding of constitution making in the eighteenth century. Volume 2 will look at revolution ary America in the years leading up to the Constitutional Convention of 1787 while the third volume will examine all facets of the French and American assemblies, from how they elected their delegates and organized ճար proceedings to how Аму addressed issues of separation of powers and
representation.

In doing so Jon Elster goes beyond formal institutions to show how they worked in practice. He draws on a host of examples and contemporary texts to illuminate the perverse and sometimes pathological effects of this system and seeks to provide a detailed analysis of the political institutions that undergirded it. Whereas Tocqueville, in his famous analysis of the ancient regime, wanted to understand the old regime as a prelude to revolution, Elster views it as a prelude to constitution-making prompted by and intended to resolve these perversities. He views these as overlapping, yet important enough to render distinct. In addition to defending a particular set of substantive propositions about the conditions which led to the Constituent Assembly, Elster argues for a specific methodological approach to history, which emphasizes supplementing the historian's craft with approaches from the social sciences. Ultimately, he does not claim to answer the historians' questions better than they do. But he does aspire to ask and sometimes answer questions that historians have not formulated in order to better understand one of the most significant examples of collective decision-making history offers us"-- Geschichte 1648-1789 gnd rswk-swf Absolutismus (DE-588)4000243-3 gnd rswk-swf Vorgeschichte (DE-588)4138921-9 gnd rswk-swf Soziales System (DE-588)4055764-9 gnd rswk-swf Französische Revolution (DE-588)4018183-2 gnd rswk-swf Frankreich (DE-588)4018145-5 gnd rswk-swf Social groups / France / History / 18th century Social psychology / France / History / 18th century Political psychology / France / History / 18th century France / Social conditions / 18th century France / Politics and government / 18th century HISTORY / Social History Political psychology Politics and government Social conditions Social groups Social psychology France 1700-1799 History Frankreich (DE-588)4018145-5 g Absolutismus (DE-588)4000243-3 s Soziales System (DE-588)4055764-9 s Geschichte 1648-1789 z DE-604 Französische Revolution (DE-588)4018183-2 s Vorgeschichte (DE-588)4138921-9 s Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-0-691-20092-7 https://www.recensio.net/r/f4320b2b8da942b78313543cf11eae42 rezensiert in: Zeitschrift für Historische Forschung (ZHF), 48 (2021), 2, S. 427-429 Rezension Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032216738&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis Digitalisierung UB Augsburg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032216738&sequence=000003&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Klappentext |
