    ‘The Great Society of the Human Species’: Volney and the Global Politics of Revolutionary France
    in Intellectual History Review , Volume 23, Issue 3, Special Issue: Discourses of Humanity in the Enlightenment: Local Mediations of a Global Aspiration ,  2013 ,  309-328
    This article analyses the complex and contested geo-politics associated with the concept of a universal human society during the era of the French Revolution. It focuses on the figure of Constantin-François Volney (1757–1820), a neglected philosopher who played a significant role in the history of both French anti-imperialist thought and French imperial practice in North Africa and the Levant. It uses that focus to explore the relationship between visions of human emancipation and the exercise of global power during the 1790s and beyond.
