Los dioses de la Revolución, obra póstuma del historiador inglés Christopher Dawson, es algo más que un libro sobre las revoluciones ilustradas, sus causas y sus consecuencias sociales, económicas o políticas. Su hilo conductor lo conforma la idea, siempre presente en la obra de Dawson, de que la religión es el germen de tod a civilización y que, en circunstancias excepcionales, aquella se expresa imperiosamente por cauces alternativos. El libro se estructura en tres capítulos que abordan, respectivamente, la génesis cultural de la Revolución francesa, los hechos centrales de la misma (con especial atención a la mentalidad y el modo de actuación de los revolucionarios) y el impacto que ésta provocó en la historia subsiguiente. La originalidad de su planteamiento, frente a la historiografía más habitual, radica en su acercamiento al proceso revolucionario Ilustrado desde la perspectiva de la expulsión del cristianismo por parte de la cultura generada por él. show more
