<p>Face aux d&eacute;fis &ndash; entre autres politiques &ndash; auxquels sont confront&eacute;s diff&eacute;rents pays europ&eacute;ens les chercheurs dix-huiti&eacute;mistes ont souhait&eacute; revenir sur des expressions anciennes de valeurs partag&eacute;es et les interrogations pass&eacute;es sur des questions qui restent souvent d&rsquo;actualit&eacute;. Au Si&egrave;cle des Lumi&egrave;res nombre d&rsquo;hommes et de femmes de lettres ont envisag&eacute; l&rsquo;avenir du continent en particulier pour ent&eacute;riner leur souhait de garantir la paix en Europe. Les textes r&eacute;unis dans cette anthologie et sign&eacute;s des grands &eacute;crivains du temps (Rousseau Montesquieu Voltaire Kant Hume ou encore Sta&euml;l) comme d&rsquo;oubli&eacute;s de l&rsquo;histoire pr&eacute;sentent avec quelques excursus chronologiques (de Sully &agrave; Hugo) les r&eacute;flexions de penseurs d&rsquo;un dix-huiti&egrave;me si&egrave;cle aux bornes chronologiques &eacute;tendues &ndash; l&rsquo;&eacute;mergence et la chute de l&rsquo;Empire engendrent des bouleversements nombreux &ndash; sur l&rsquo;Europe son histoire sa diversit&eacute; mais aussi sur ce qu&rsquo;ont en commun les nations qui composent dans leur vari&eacute;t&eacute; un ensemble g&eacute;ographique. Ils mettent en &eacute;vidence les origines historiques d&rsquo;un projet d&rsquo;union europ&eacute;enne le souhait de consolider les liens du continent avec le Maghreb ou la Turquie l&rsquo;importance accord&eacute;e au commerce et les inqui&eacute;tudes suscit&eacute;es par les sursauts de l&rsquo;histoire mais aussi l&rsquo;espoir plac&eacute; dans les g&eacute;n&eacute;rations futures.<br />La Soci&eacute;t&eacute; fran&ccedil;aise d&rsquo;&eacute;tude du XVIIIe si&egrave;cle l&rsquo;Universit&eacute; d&rsquo;Augsburg l&rsquo;Universit&eacute; d&rsquo;Oxford ont g&eacute;n&eacute;reusement contribu&eacute; &agrave; la publication de ce volume.<br /><br />In view of the challenges&mdash;many of which are political&mdash;that different European countries are currently facing scholars who work on the 18th century have compiled this anthology which includes earlier recognitions of common values and past considerations of questions which often remain pertinent nowadays. During the Enlightenment many men and women of letters envisaged the continent&rsquo;s future in particular when stressing their hope that peace could be secured in Europe. The texts gathered here and signed by major thinkers of the time (Rousseau Montesquieu Voltaire Kant Hume or Sta&euml;l for instance) as well as by writers history has forgotten present the reflections with a couple of chronological extensions (from Sully to Victor Hugo) of authors from the long eighteenth century&mdash;the French Empire and the fall of Napoleon generated numerous upheavals&mdash;on Europe its history its diversity but also on what the nations which in all their diversity make up a geographical unit have in common. They show the historical origins of the project of a European union the desire to consolidate the continent&rsquo;s ties to the Maghreb or to Turkey the importance granted to commerce and the worries engendered by history&rsquo;s convulsions but also the hope vested in future generations.</p><p>The Soci&eacute;t&eacute; fran&ccedil;aise d&rsquo;&eacute;tude du XVIIIe si&egrave;cle Augsburg University and the University of Oxford have generously contributed towards the publication of this volume.</p>
