| Abstract | Matthijs Lok focuses on the uses of moderation in continental counter-revolutionary and conservative thought, examining the case studies of Charles-Alexandre de Calonne, Étienne-Denis Pasquier, Niklas Vogt and Leopold von Ranke. Despite their differences, the authors all contrasted ‘revolution’ and ‘moderation’ and shared the idea that a strong state is the solution to a polarised political climate. Their idea of counter-Revolution was not a complete rejection, but a compromise between Ancien Régime and the new reality of the Revolution and its legacy. |
