Podcasts about July Monarchy

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) and his examination of the American democratic system. He wrote De La Démocratie en Amérique in two parts, published in 1835 and 1840, when France was ruled by the July Monarchy of Louis-Philippe. Tocqueville was interested in how aspects of American democracy, in the age of President Andrew Jackson, could be applied to Europe as it moved away from rule by monarchs and aristocrats. His work has been revisited by politicians ever since, particularly in America, with its analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of direct democracy and its warnings of mediocrity and the tyranny of the majority.WithRobert Gildea Professor of Modern History at the University of OxfordSusan-Mary Grant Professor of American History at Newcastle UniversityandJeremy Jennings Professor of Political Theory and Head of the School of Politics & Economics at King's College LondonProducer: Simon TillotsonIn Our Time is a BBC Sounds Audio Production

Things Discussed: PSU loses a lawsuit where Franklin was overruling his doctors. Let's not throw stones; Harbaugh never overruled his doctors but the case did reference a Harbaugh quote and it's not hard to imagine players were often pressured to play while injured. Ben St-Juste's story does exonerate him a bit. Solution: this is something the NCAA should be rigorously enforcing. Utah State gets nailed for tampering: COI still doing what they do. Seth's solution: formalize the system that used to be under the table: Scholarships (Tuition/Room/Board/Stipend) stay nontaxable if you're an undergrad playing at the school you signed with out of high school, once you're a grad student you get a 2nd school that's nontaxable. Incentivizes schools to invest in players' educations, incentivizes players to stay at one school and get their degrees, emphasizes the value that college sports have over all other professional sports. NCAA's solution: get rid of walk-ons in football and basketball. This runs away from what they're best at, but it would help the USFs out there who want to play at being D-I without investing in more sports. Torvik's early rankings like B10 teams: let's talk about how useful these stats are. Opponent portal pickups. Fresno State got a nifty slot bug from Missouri State that I'm pretty sure we're gonna see. Texas lost a CB but picked up a better one, didn't replace the DTs like they wanted to. Oregon got better, look like the class of the conference this year. Vibes: Oregon looks like a title contender, Ohio State looks like less than the sum of their parts. They'll always be good because they are never satisfied, but other than Caleb Downs they mostly just got better where they were already good. Think Michigan's worse than they were last year but they're not 10-point dogs.

Before the binge-watch was the binge-read, and few binge-reads come bigger than “The Count of Monte Cristo”, a book which bucks the trend of big things being hard to swallow. In the character of Edmond Dantès and the injustice done to him, Alexandre Dumas (père) managed to prove that famous phrase said to have originated in France during that Romantic Era of the July Monarchy, and ultimately the 1848 Revolution, the phrase: Revenge is a dish best served cold. Of course, as his name suggests, Dantès has to go through Hell before he can take his vengeance, which explains why Dumas takes another 1,000 pages for the dish to cool down. And far from being a complaint, readers to this day complain only that the dish could've been served even colder. This podcast is for all those people who gorged on each of the 1,200-plus pages of “The Count of Monte Cristo”, and yet are still hungry for more. Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include: "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas "The Secret History" by Donna Tartt “Norwegian Wood” by Haruki Murakami “The Three Musketeers” by Alexandre Dumas “One Thousand and One Nights”    Additional segments throughout the podcast include: Inner Shelf Fact or fiction What are you reading?

The Three Musketeers - Alexandre Dumas - Book 2, Part 7 Title: The Three Musketeers Overview: The d'Artagnan Romances are a set of three novels by Alexandre Dumas (1802–1870), telling the story of the 17th-century musketeer d'Artagnan. Dumas based the character and attributes of d'Artagnan on the captain of musketeers Charles de Batz-Castelmore d'Artagnan (c. 1611–1673) and the portrayal was particularly indebted to d'Artagnan's semi-fictionalized memoirs as written 27 years after the hero's death by Gatien de Courtilz de Sandras (published 1700). The Three Musketeers (French: Les Trois Mousquetaires) is a French historical adventure novel written in 1844 by French author Alexandre Dumas. It is in the swashbuckler genre, which has heroic, chivalrous swordsmen who fight for justice. Set between 1625 and 1628, it recounts the adventures of a young man named d'Artagnan (a character based on Charles de Batz-Castelmore d'Artagnan) after he leaves home to travel to Paris, hoping to join the Musketeers of the Guard. Although d'Artagnan is not able to join this elite corps immediately, he is befriended by three of the most formidable musketeers of the age – Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, "the three musketeers" or "the three inseparables" – and becomes involved in affairs of state and at court. The Three Musketeers is primarily a historical and adventure novel. However, Dumas frequently portrays various injustices, abuses, and absurdities of the Ancien Régime, giving the novel an additional political significance at the time of its publication, a time when the debate in France between republicans and monarchists was still fierce. The story was first serialized from March to July 1844, during the July Monarchy, four years before the French Revolution of 1848 violently established the Second Republic. The story of d'Artagnan is continued in Twenty Years After and The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later.

French Revolution began 150 years of chaos, war, bloodshed, revolution…. Each movement being eaten by the next… France in the 1789 had LOTS of problems: high tax on poor, Rich, oppression etc.  CLEARLY in need of Revolution. America had just gone through their own revolution. But the ideal of these two revolutions were VERY different. In America, the Puritan and Protestants came over in search from religious freedom. They adopted ideas of Milton on freedom of speech and the dangers of censorship. They adopted believed in the premise that the INDIVIDUAL was the supreme expression of the state. And the state was in place to EMPOWER the individual. John Adams’ Declaration of the Rights of the Inhabitants of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, ratified in 1780, provides the basic framework for American governing philosophy:  “All men are born free and equal, and have certain natural, essential, and unalienable rights; among which may be reckoned the right of enjoying and defending their lives and liberties; that of acquiring, possessing, and protecting property; in fine, that of seeking and obtaining their safety and happiness.” Note: This put the power and responsibility into the hands of the individual. Liberty in the hand of the individual… the seeking and obtaining safety and happiness was the individual’s responsibility. France’s 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man is an ode to the collective. “The principle of all sovereignty resides essentially in the nation. No body nor individual may exercise any authority which does not proceed directly from the nation,” it states. “Law is the expression of the general will.” The guide of the French Revolution was not liberty—but “Equality”. Not individual freedom—but the government responsibility to level the playing field and give equity to all people. The America Revolution the PEOPLE gave power to the government, in the French the GOV/collective give power to the people. In the years following the American revolution we see peaceful governance. In the years following the French Revolution we see the Reign of Terror with mass execution “for the common good” . . . they hunted down nobles and business owners and beheaded them without trials. The premise was IF there was an inequality it was due to oppression—and oppression must be punished “To punish the oppressors of humanity is clemency; to forgive them is cruelty” Robespierre EQUALITY was more important that LIBERTY. Maximilien Robespierre was monumental in sparking the French revolution… and ironically he was also lead to the guillotine when the people decided he too had too much power and an oppressor. That is the issue here—one of many in the post modern marxist ideologies… those who lead the revolution often meet the same fate and the fury of the movement for equality continues to eat those who bring leadership. It is the ouroboros —the self eating snake. Self destructive never satisfying force of chaos and destruction. The French Revolution was lead by ANTI religious. It was largely sparked by an Anti-Clerical movement—AKA secularism. They created a new religion to replace the Roman Catholic Church (which was in desperate need for reform). But instead of reforming—the torn it down, killed 16000+ clergy and nobles, and set up the Cult of Reason. Doing away with God—Mandated religion. (Note the difference—freedom of religion vs MANDATE religion. Individual freedom and liberty vs subject to the state to press for equality.) So—is the fact that it was a revolution that makes this Totalitarian? By no means—America had a revolution around the same time but the ideas and results were very different. The French revolution was Totalitarian in idealogy because the idea was absolutely control over the individual for the sake of “equality” and with that came state mandated religion—a very different idea from the America Revolution—Freedom of religion. First came the “Cult of Reason” that supplanted the Catholic church (Supplanting one mandated religion with another) Here is where is gets really crazy and we see the extreme censorship and control of media and the totality of Totalitarian even in their erasure and rewriting of history. Post Modern Leftist revolutions seek to erase and rewrite history so the past can completely be forgotten so that there is NO OTHER option—no descending voice—no other way of thinking. The “Cult of Reason” Did away with the Gregorian calendar and set up a NEW calander to erase christianity, religion, and the past. (Tear everything down and start over mentality VS let us learn from the past and slowly improve upon the foundations) What did they do? First introduced in 1788 and adopted in Oct 1793 – did away with 7 day week, replaced with 10 days. Three “Dedaces” instead of week. With the name of the months being “snow” Rain, Vintange, fruits, heat, harvest, seedtime. Replace the names of the Greek Roman Gods with scientific names. Replaced all the Christian Holiday with holidays around the State and Political events (Putting Science and Government as God) Each of the 360 days in the year was named for a seed, tree, flower, fruit, animal, or tool, replacing the saints’-day names and Christian festivals. If you remember from the previous episode on the traits of Totalitarian cult they want TOTAL control, total control of media, of thought, ideas, they re-write history and ideas so that their ideologies have no beginning middle or end. Why? Because if there is a beginning that means there could be a NOTHER option of thinking. And another option outside of their control is the greatest danger. This Calendar lasted until January 1, 1806 when Napoleon did away with the old new way, and reestablished the catholic church and the Gregorian calendar. Liberalism accepts and is open to criticism to they can find, and accept what they are doing wrong in order to correct their mistakes (slowly line by line improving society) Totalitarianism and the ideas that drove the French Revolution were “Tear everything down and START OVER” Don’t accept criticism. Don’t allow another narrative. Control everything. The result? Some would argue that the French revolution didn’t end until the 1950s when France joined the EU. For 150 years France cycled through revolution and instability.   French Revolution (1789–1792) French First Republic (1792–1799) First Empire (1804–1814) Bourbon restoration (1814–1830) July Monarchy (1830–1848) Second Republic (1848–1852) Second Empire (1852–1870) Third Republic (1870–1940), until 1914             Paris Commune (1871)             Royalist domination (1871–1879)             "Radicals" (1879–1914) 150 years of chaos, war, bloodshed, revolution…. Each movement being eaten by the next… We must be awake and aware of the warning sign of marxist groups like Black Lives Matter . . . warning sign that could ultimately lead to your own destruction as the movement begins to eat itself.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) and his examination of the American democratic system. He wrote De La Démocratie en Amérique in two parts, published in 1835 and 1840, when France was ruled by the July Monarchy of Louis-Philippe. Tocqueville was interested in how aspects of American democracy, in the age of President Andrew Jackson, could be applied to Europe as it moved away from rule by monarchs and aristocrats. His work has been revisited by politicians ever since, particularly in America, with its analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of direct democracy and its warnings of mediocrity and the tyranny of the majority. With Robert Gildea Professor of Modern History at the University of Oxford Susan-Mary Grant Professor of American History at Newcastle University and Jeremy Jennings Professor of Political Theory and Head of the School of Politics & Economics at King's College London Producer: Simon Tillotson.

John Tresch‘s beautiful new book charts a series of transformations that collectively ushered in a new cosmology in the Paris of the early-mid nineteenth century. The Romantic Machine: Utopian Science and Technology after Napoleon (University of Chicago Press, 2012) narrates the emergence of a new image of the machine, a new concept of nature, a new theory of knowledge, and a new political orientation through a series of chapters that each use the work of a single figure to open up a world of romantic machines. Part 1 of the book looks at the work of physical scientists whose model of precision experiment and math was transformed by an encounter with romantic philosophy and aesthetics, and introduces the electro-magnetic work of physicist AndreMarie Ampre, the instrumental practices of Prussian geophysical researcher Alexander von Humboldt, and the labor theory of knowledge in relation to the instruments of astronomer and politician Francois Arago. Part 2 looks at the impact of technology on theories of the self and the human, focusing on the fantastic arts and public spectacles featuring new discoveries in optics, mechanics, and natural history. (Readers will find lively discussions of dioramas, hallucinatory opera, symphonies, museums, magic shows, and expositions, here.) Part 3 treats the utopian thinkers and engineer-scientists of the late Restoration and the July Monarchy, looking at religiously-inflected social technologies of conversion, communication, and temporal coordination in the work and thought of Saint-Simon and his followers, printer and literary critic Pierre Leroux’s work and theories, and Auguste Comte’s instruments of thought and paper. It is a rich, elegantly argued work that offers not just a history of science and technology, but also a tracing of the roots of some contemporary continental philosophy, as well.
