\"Couverture<\/a>

Fran\u00e7ois Guizot, historian, philosopher and statesman. <\/em>Collective work. Published by Calmann-Levy.

Posterity has been unfair to Fran\u00e7ois Guizot.

It is still slow to recognise the importance and scope of a body of work that it has lazily reduced to a few sentences, truncated and taken out of context.

Yet each of the many fields of knowledge or public action that Guizot tackled still bears his mark, whether in philosophy, history or the institutions of the State.

A professor of history at the Sorbonne, where Taine and Tocqueville attended his lectures, he was the author of a body of work that Marx drew on and never stopped quoting. A thinker on democracy, he discussed its foundations and limits with Tocqueville.

His work as a minister was no less important. The Republic owes him its network of communal schools, the creation of the Acad\u00e9mie des sciences morales et politiques, the forerunner of Sciences Po and, to crown it all, nothing less than the three colours of the French flag.

To mark the hundred and fiftieth anniversary of his death, the essays in this volume by Jean-Claude Casanova, Jacques Verger, Aurelian Craiutu, Fran\u00e7oise Melonio and Xavier Darcos shed light on the many aspects of Guizot's rich and prolific legacy.
