Résumé
Jean Garagnon : J. -J. Rousseau as seen by the jesuits. The M. T., in its opposition to the Enlightenment, manifests a conception of history based on immobility and eternity, in which nothing new can happen. This conception proved an effective weapon, by depriving Enlightenment writers of their most dangerous characteristic, their very novelty. The example of their treatment of Rousseau demonstrates how the journal attempts to exorcise the idea of history and change. This article lists the main devices it uses to deny the possibility of an intellectual event.
