Depuis l'ouvrage de John Pocock, The Machiavellian Moment. Florentine Political Thought and the Atlantic Tradition (1975), on conna�t l'importance de James Harrington dans la pens�e politique anglo-am�ricaine � la p�riode moderne. Parce qu'au-del� de l'acte de r�sistance � la tyrannie, il promeut la d�mocratie et propose les moyens constitutionnels de mettre en oeuvre la souverainet� populaire dans un pays de vaste �tendue, Harrington a incarn� une forme distinctive de r�publicanisme. En retra�ant l'histoire de sa r�ception dans la France des Lumi�res, cet ouvrage a pour but de combler un hiatus entre le grand r�cit pocockien du r�publicanisme machiav�lien et l'historiographie de la R�volution fran�aise. En cela, il s'inscrit dans le panorama bross� en 2010 par l'historienne Rachel Hammersley, et va au-del�. D'une part, il accorde � Hume, Jaucourt ou Rousseau, aux c�t�s de ses nombreux traducteurs et commentateurs, un r�le central dans l'actualisation de la pens�e de Harrington. D'autre part, il montre que son h�ritage intellectuel fut pluriel. Celui-ci n'est en effet pas seulement l'inspirateur de dispositions constitutionnelles sp�cifiques : � l'heure o� se d�veloppe l'�conomie politique, Harrington appara�t comme le penseur d'une �galit� relative des fortunes, per�ue comme la seule base possible d'un ordre politique stable. -- John Pocock's book The Machiavellian Moment. Florentine Political Thought and the Atlantic Tradition (1975) has shown the importance of James Harrington in Anglo-American modern political thought. Beyond the act of resistance to tyranny, he vindicates democracy and provides the constitutional means for implementing popular sovereignty in a vast country. In doing so, Harrington has incarnated a distinctive form of republicanism. By reconstructing the history of his reception in eighteenth century France, this book aims to bridge the gap between the great Pocockian narrative of Machiavellian republicanism and the historiography of the French Revolution. It is set against the panorama offered by Rachel Hammersley in 2010 and aims to go further. On the one hand, it shows how central Hume, Jaucourt or Rousseau have been in reviving Harrington's thought, along with his numerous translators and commentators. On the other hand, it shows that his intellectual legacy was diverse. He did not only stand as the inspirer of specific constitutional measures: as political economy developed, Harrington also appeared as the theoretician of a relative equality of wealth among the people, perceived by many as the true basis of a stable political order.
