The State. This concept is impossible to avoid in France because the country built itself on (or around) this idea from the nineteenth century. Although the 'State' was initially ignored by the Revolution (which referred to the idea of the 'sovereign nation'), the Revolution marked the beginning of the French administration which has continued to develop ever since. However, the administration as a remedy for the instability resulting from 1789, was a legal tool which changed with the regimes. An intellectual object was therefore necessary to support it and to guarantee its continuity and stability. This is where the interest in the State lies, if only in its etymological sense.
