L'Avenir de l'intelligence (The Future of the Intelligentsia)[1] is a philosophical and political essay by the French journalist and politician Charles Maurras, director of L'Action française, published in 1905. This text was published in 1902 in the review Minerva[2] led by journalist René-Marc Ferry. Charles Maurras offers a critique "of the evolution of the status of Intelligence in contact with modernity, of its progressive submission to Gold".[3]

Presentation

Critique of plutocracy

In this text, Maurras develops "all the intransigence of his intellectualism" for André Lagarde and Laurent Michard.

Hegelianism and historical materialism
.

Maurras promotes "the essential harmony between the writer and the social forces that order the nation".[5]

Influence

Maurras has frequented Parisian intellectual circles since his arrival in Paris on the Decembre 2, 1885, particularly the Roman School and the Félibrige. L'Avenir de l'intelligence enabled Maurras to extend his sphere of influence, particularly among young people "which was to manifest itself in the famous 1912 survey, Young people today, published jointly by the young Henri Massis and Alfred Tarde under the pseudonym of Agathon."[8] This book contributes to the foundation of the "intellectual magisterium exercised by Maurras in the 1910s and 1920s, resulting in a revival of the monarchist idea after decades of decline".[9]

In his dedication to his friend René-Marc Ferry at the beginning of the book, Charles Maurras writes this famous formula:

Any desperation in politics is absolute folly.

— Charles Maurras, L'Avenir de l'Intelligence

Around the book

On December 20, 1926, Pope

Pius XI ordered Catholics to break with Action Française and published the decree of the congregation of the Index of January 29, 1914, which condemned seven works by Maurras, including L'Avenir de l'intelligence.[10]

The poet and playwright Thomas Stearns Eliot insert a quote in French from L’Avenir de l’intelligence in his poem Coriolan, "which he regards as a master book whose influences are largely found in his For Lancelot Andrewes".[11]
