(John) The Modern Regime, Volume 2 Part of the series Origins of contemporary France. [v.5-6] Produced by Svend Rom and David Widger "The Modern Regime, Volume 2" by Hippolyte Taine is a historical account written during the late 19th century. This volume delves into the critical examination of moral institutions and public instruction in contemporary France, particularly reflecting on the influence of the State over the Church and the educational systems established during and after Napoleon's regime. At the start of the volume, the preface by André Chevrillon outlines Taine's intentions for his work, emphasizing the fragmentation of French society and the role of various institutions such as the Church and family in maintaining social cohesion. Taine seeks to analyze how the centralized State has systematically absorbed these moral institutions, transforming their roles and undermining their independent functions. The opening portion sets the stage for a deeper exploration of how Napoleon interacted with these structures, aiming for a balance between spiritual and temporal authority while reshaping the religious landscape of France.
