| Summary | "Des jésuites" by Jules Michelet and Edgar Quinet is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The work addresses the influence and operation of the Jesuits in society, exploring their impact on religion, politics, and education during a time of significant upheaval in France. The authors engage critically with the concept of Jesuitism, portraying it as a form of oppression and moral decay that stifles freedom and individuality. The beginning of "Des jésuites" introduces a passionate critique of the Jesuit order, emphasizing the dangers they pose to personal and societal liberty. The text outlines the Jesuits' subversive tactics, which the authors argue infiltrate various aspects of life and education, promoting a culture of surveillance and disloyalty. The narrative contrasts the principles of freedom and individual thought with the mechanical and oppressive nature of Jesuit influence, suggesting a profound societal conflict that questions the moral integrity of an education shaped by such ideologies.
