Excerpt from The Fortnightly Review, Vol. 12: July 1 to December 1, 1872 11' would be a mistake to think that the republican movement in France has only a political character. The schools of science have also a powerful inżuence in the development of our ideas. Among them all the most prominent is the Positive School, whose general tendency is to substitute for theology and even metaphysics the purely human ideas which are indicated by reason, strengthened by experience, in harmony with nature, innate in the spirit, foreign to every transcendental tendency, and opposed to the supernatural. The series of fundamental ideas of this school is not at this moment a part of our theme, but its inżuence is clearly seen in the political and social tendency of the republican spirit of our time: Since the fourteenth century human reason has tended to rebel against the theocratic rule, and the human will to revolt against the feudal rule. This double spirit of opposition led in the Latin peoples to a monarchical and plebeian dictatorship; in the germanic-saxon peoples, to an aristocratic and Protestant dictatorship. But while this was taking place in the political and social world, human reason was gradually freeing itself by analytic efforts from theological ideas. The eighteenth century did much to accomplish this work. Political systems absorb ideas, as the plant the juices of the earth in which it grows. Three capital facts indicated the termination of the old theocratic state; first, the expulsion of the Jesuits, the army of authority and theology; second, the reforms of Target, which tended to found society upon a positive basis; third, the American revolution. All these facts were necessary preliminaries to the French revolution. This revolution was born in the midst of illusions, fancying it was to harmonize its new ideas with the ancient monarchy; but the annihilation of the monarchy was the first result of the revolution.
