New French edition translated by Emile Littré on the last German edition. Strauss's works precede those of Renan on the historical approach to the life of Jesus. This book caused a scandal when it was first published in Germany and led to its author being dismissed from his post as philosophy tutor at the Protestant seminary in Tübingen.
Inspired by the Hegelian philosophy of history, this book founded the movement of the Young Hegelians which will inspire all left movements in Germany in the nineteenth century.

At the beginning of the XIXth century, imprisonment gradually imposed itself as a justice penalty whereas previously the prison was mainly a temporary place of confinement before the execution of the real punishment (banishment, torture, execution ... ). Following the Enlightenment (Beccaria) or thinkers like Tocqueville and Bentham, Alauzet then asked the question of the staggering of sentences and the organization of prisons. He also examines the systems of Lucas, Auburn and Faucher.

Rare offprint of an article published in the journal Champagne catholique.
This journal was created at the end of the July Monarchy to defend moral and religious interests against the anticlerical political groups that were beginning to organize. Here the article targets Fourier's system, of which Victor Considérant was then the best-known promoter.
"His ideas of association are destined, without doubt, to play an important role in the future developments of civilization; we must deplore that Fourier has cast disfavor on them, by associating them with the deepest immorality." (p.35).
