Produced by Paul Murray, René Anderson Benitz and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Critical Miscellanies (Vol. 2 of 3), Essay 4: Joseph de Maistre" by John Morley is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. This particular essay provides a comprehensive analysis of Joseph de Maistre, a key figure in the Catholic reaction to the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. The text delves into Maistre's life, philosophical arguments, and the broader implications of his ideas on society, authority, and the church's role in governance. The opening portion presents an introductory context that explains the significance of Maistre's ideas against the backdrop of the early 19th-century upheaval in France. Morley conveys how the Catholic reaction in France, spurred by the Revolution, stands in stark contrast to Protestant perspectives prevalent in England. Through the life experiences and intellectual evolution of De Maistre, Morley outlines his staunch opposition to the principles espoused by the Enlightenment thinkers and his advocacy for a renewal of papal authority as essential for restoring order in European society, ultimately framing De Maistre as a pivotal player in the war of ideas during a tumultuous time.
