Description
Résumé:The French Revolution was marked by a determination to regenerate the citizens through the educational system, in particular by instilling a Republican morality. The study of this morality encounters a teleological bias which sees it as the starting point of the moral and civic instruction set up under the Third Republic. Analysis of political catechisms and of their at first sight oxymoronic nature is useful because they were precisely excluded from this genealogy of civic instruction built up by republican historians from the 1870s and 1880s. As heirs to Christian pedagogy, these elementary works illustrate the absence of a moral tabula rasa. There is a fusion of traditions, leading to an attempt at moral syncretism, especially in the years 1830-1848. Study of this genre of politico-pedagogic literature makes it possible to reveal the history of the attempts made before the 1880s to invent a secular morality. While showing the progressive development of a revolutionary and then republican morality drawing on many traditions, this article more especially emphasises the reasons for the failure of the politico-religious syncretism attempted under the First and Second Republics.
