Temporal & Eternal by Charles Peguy
This a profound and poetic assessment of the relationship between Christianity and liberty, between politics and society, and between Christianity and the modern world. This edition includes a new foreword by Pierre Manent, professor of Political Science at the Centre de Recherches Politiques Raymond Aron in Paris. As the 21st century begins, the relationships this book explores are as relevant as they were in the last century, when French poet and essayist Charles Péguy addressed them in "Memories of Youth" and "Clio I", the two essays in this volume. In these essays Péguy develops his theme of la mystique -- that which a person or a nation is -- and la politique -- mere policy.
Pü¾Ž–”¼guy, Charles: - Charles Peguy (1873-1914) was a noted French poet, essayist, and editor. His two main philosophies were socialism and nationalism, but by 1908 at the latest, after years of uneasy agnosticism, he had become a believing but nonpracticing Roman Catholic. From that time on, Catholicism strongly influenced his works.
