Pouvoirs n°179 - novembre 2021 - Les clivages politiques - p.81-90
The origins of the progressive/conservative cleavage are analysed here through the opposition between Nicolas de Condorcet, for the Enlightenment, and the conservative reactions of Edmund Burke, Joseph de Maistre and Louis de Bonald. Then the analysis moves to the present by looking first at the current ultra-conservative dynamic (the Alain Soral-Éric zemmour couple) and the confused tinkering (the Jacques Julliard-Frédéric Lordon-Mathieu Back-Côté triad and Emmanuel Macron) that favours it in the context of the weakening of the right/ left cleavage. The article then explores the possibility of a rebound of progressivism thanks to the appropriation of some conservative questionings.
