Chapter 5 was originally published as the editorial matter to François Guizot, Histoire de la civilisation en Europe, ed. Rosanvallon (Paris, 1985). Different parts of the editorial matter—one section of it, entitled “Préface: Le Gramsci de la bourgeoisie,” introduced the book, while another presented a previously unpublished essay by Guizot on sovereignty—have been combined and interwoven in this selection.

Chapter 6 was originally published as “Rationalisme politique et démocratie en France (XVIII^e–XIX^e siècles),” Zinbun, Annals of the Institute of Research in Humanities 29 (1994): 17–32, translated anonymously into English as “Political Rationalism and Democracy in France in the 18th and 19th Centuries,” Philosophy and Social Criticism 28, 6 (November 2002): 687–702, heavily revised here. © Sage Publications, reprinted by permission.

Chapter 7 was originally published as “Culture politique libérale et réformisme,” Esprit 251 (March 1999): 161–70, and is reprinted by permission of the journal. The text also appeared under the title “Le marché et les trois utopies libérales” as the preface to the new edition of Pierre Rosanvallon, Le capitalisme utopique: Histoire de l’idée de marché (Paris, 1999).
