Offers an interpretation of the social and political ideas associated with the loosely defined group of theorists and publicists who dominated the intellectual life of France during the later stages of the Revolution and early years of the 19th century, and uses the theory of the Ideologues to illuminate the more general issue of how and why the fusion of utility, liberty, and democracy developed in the language of political theorizing.
