Summary

Presentation

Although anti-doctrinaire and basing his thinking on the experience of reality and `common sense`, Charles Maurras agreed in 1937, with most of his career already behind him, to write a summary work of his various political positions. Most of the texts in Mes idées politiques are taken from old publications by Charles Maurras, notably in the journal L`Action française , corrected and ordered by their author in order to offer the reader a global and coherent vision of his thinking, and this deprived of any reference to current events in order to give the original texts a more general scope. To this corpus, Charles Maurras added an original introduction called `Natural Politics` which constitutes, through its defense of the principle of hierarchy and `beneficial inequality`, an approach to the author`s entire work 2 .

Pierre Chardon recounts the conception of the book in the newspaper L`Action française in 1938 3 . The idea of ​​a compilation was proposed by Jean Fayard in November 1936 3 .
Preface
Rachel Legras, nicknamed Pierre Chardon , was the mistress of Charles Maurras and the originator of My Political Ideas .

The preface entitled La Politique naturelle constitutes one of the most important texts of Charles Maurras 1 , 2 . In this text, the author develops his anthropology against the individualist principles of 1789: `men are not born free, but entirely dependent on their family and more generally on their society; they become more or less free later, but always by relying on this benevolent natural substratum, which Le Play called `the essential constitution of humanity` ` 1 . In Maurras, individuals are also not born equal outside of the natural gifts of reason, moral sense and the aptitude for freedom 1 . Furthermore, Maurras refutes the idea of ​​an opposition between nature and man because society would be the nature of man. Society is supposed to be based on a natural anthropology, starting with heredity which designates `less the transmission of genes than that of a material heritage (house, land, business) and immaterial heritage (language, customs, principles, values, tastes, memory)` 1 . Maurras subscribes to Aristotelian - Thomistic realism and thinks that politics must therefore be based on natural law .

The social question also plays a large part in this preface because it was written at the time of the Popular Front . Maurras condemns individualist idealisms of liberal and socialist inspiration. The class struggle is criticized pejoratively on the grounds that everyone would come out the loser. Maurras opposes a collaboration of classes taking the form of a corporative regime . In the first edition of the work, Maurras did not hide his admiration for Mussolini and his reforms. The three pages glorifying fascism were removed from his Capital Works (1954) when Maurras quickly noted the abuses committed by fascism in the cult of the State in his book Orchards on the Sea also published in 1937 1 . However, Maurras did not revise the anti-Semitic passages of My Political Ideas because his state anti-Semitism continued until the end of his life 4 .
Plan
Part One: The Man

His vision of man is opposed as much to the optimism of the Enlightenment as to the pessimism of Hobbes, even if he readily admits that ` man is a wolf to man ` 1 .

`There is a great deal of truth in the discourse of the pessimists who thus outbid Hobbes and his followers. I would like us to resign ourselves to accepting as certain all that they say and not to fear teaching that in fact man is more than a wolf to man; but on condition that we correct the aphorism by adding to it this new aphorism, and of equally rigorous truth, that to man man is a god.`

— Charles Maurras, My political ideas

For historian Martin Motte, Charles Maurras comes closer to Kant `s `unsociable truth` and delivers his own version of the Hegelian dialectic of master and slave 1 .
Part Two: Principles

Maurras associates `politics with an ontology of finitude` and conceives `the heritage of the past only with the benefit of an inventory` 1 .

`True tradition is critical, and without these distinctions the past is of no use, its successes ceasing to be examples, its setbacks ceasing to be lessons.`

— Charles Maurras, My political ideas
Part Three: Civilization
Caricature of Charles Maurras in prison during the writing of My Political Ideas published in Vendredi on June 12, 1936.

The author limits civilization to a strictly Greco-Latin framework and criticizes both declinism and fatalism 1 .
Part Four: Political Science

Maurras delivers `a nuanced reflection on the relationship between politics and biology` and rejects the dogmatic application of biology in social and political relationships. However, he tolerates a `heuristic use of this science` by invoking many analogies 1 . With the help of organizing empiricism , he deduces immutable political laws. Maurras borrows from Montesquieu his definition of the law as `a relationship arising from the nature of things` 5 , 1 .
Part Five: Democracy

The author draws on the four confederate states (Jewish, Protestant, Freemason and foreign) for his critique of democracy 1 . He also refers to Plato`s Laws and Republic when he uses ontological categories 2 :

`...democracy is evil, democracy is death.`

— Charles Maurras, My political ideas

Maurras depicts democracy `as an entropic regime, consumer of civilization and hotbed of barbarism` 2 as he did previously in Anthinéa .
Part Six: Social Issues

In this part, Maurras tolerates state interventionism in the regulation of socio-economic relations but rejects the idea of ​​a welfare state, which is seen as liberticidal. Martin Motte notes that for Maurras `social mobility has always existed in the history of France and constitutes a natural movement: it is therefore useless to make it a political priority` 1 . At the same time, Maurras criticizes bourgeois egoism.
Part Seven: Back to Living Things

In conclusion, Maurras gives his definition of the nation. Maurras takes care to recognize the spiritual prerogatives of the Catholic Church 1 .

`The idea of ​​a nation is not a `cloud` as the anarchist crackpots say, it is the representation in abstract terms of a strong reality. The nation is the largest of the community circles that are, temporally, solid and complete. Break it, and you strip the individual. He will lose all his defense, all his support, all his help.`

— Charles Maurras, My political ideas

Finally, Maurras recalls that the French nation is not a matter of race, that it is not impervious to possible external influences while specifying that diversity can be as much a source of wealth as of division. The Monarchy is erected as the means of preserving the cohesion of the nation 1 .
Reissue

The work was reissued in 2018 in the `Bouquins` collection by Éditions Robert Laffont . While historian Martin Motte considers it necessary to reissue the work of an `indefensible, but [...] fascinating` writer , particularly to understand the beginning of the 20th century , journalist Philippe Douroux indicates that during this reissue `the editor, historian and preface writer strive to put a prudent distance between themselves and the `subject`, a royalist, constant anti-republican, virulent anti-Semite, convinced anti-German, Vichyite out of spite, nationalist to the point of blindness, anti-Dreyfusard because nationalist, and positivist by hook or by crook` 6 . France info considers on the occasion of this reissue that in this `sulphurous [...] work his anti-Semitism and hatred of democracy are expressed` 7 .
