This text, "Fire in the Minds of Men" by James H. Billington, delves into the origins and development of the revolutionary faith in Europe, focusing on the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It argues that this faith is a uniquely modern belief in a perfect secular order achieved through forcible overthrow of traditional authority, driven not by the masses but by passionate intellectuals. The book traces this tradition from the French Revolution, highlighting the core, often conflicting, ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity, and exploring the influence of occult and mystical ideas and organizations like the Illuminists and Freemasons on early revolutionaries like Babeuf and Buonarroti.
