Description:
This collection of two works, the first dealing with the philosophical work of Raymond Aron and the second dealing with the intellectual origins of the American Revolution, has the role of tracking the way in which Aron’s work and the event represented by the American Revolution were overcome. in importance of their successive interpretations. At the same time, their essential philosophical and historical status withstood attempts at annihilation and social amnesia. The collection is called “Freedom and Political Moderation” because the two topics have in common the discussion of the meaning of freedom given by Aaron to his work through the filter of moderation, and American revolutionaries manage to obtain freedom by moderating their political actions. Collective memory is not independent of collective forgetting, so the history of the concrete manifestations of this freedom-moderation couple, in the work of Aaron and in the American Revolution, is the subject of this paper.
