Abstract
This critical review analyzes the volume by Jonathan Israel, "Revolutionary Ideas. An Intellectual History of the French Revolution from the Rights of Man to Robespierre" (Oxford-Princeton, 2014), drawing comparisons with Israel's previous works - starting with "Radical Enlightenment. Philosophy and the Making of Modernity" 1650-1750 in 2001 - and in general with the latest historiography on the Enlightenment.
