Summary: "An Account of the Destruction of the Jesuits in France" by Jean Le Rond d'Alembert is a historical account likely written in the late 18th century. The book discusses the rise and fall of the Jesuit order in France, examining the events and circumstances that led to their eventual suppression. It provides an in-depth analysis of the society's influence and opposition, focusing on the political and theological conflicts that surrounded it. The opening of this work sets the stage by presenting a historical context in which the Jesuit order was both powerful and contentious. D'Alembert reflects on the broader societal and political upheavals of his time, noting how public opinion shaped the fate of the Jesuits. He begins with a brief history of the society's founding and growth, highlighting the various obstacles they faced, particularly from the universities and rival religious factions. D'Alembert aims to provide a balanced perspective by examining both the negative perceptions of the Jesuits and their contributions to education and society, suggesting that their complexity ultimately led to their dramatic downfall.
