A condensation of a Chpt of Talmon's forthcoming The High Tide of Political Messianism. The early 19th cent witnessed an outcrop of revolutionary movements in which religious motivations mingled with radical tendencies unleashed by the French Revolution & the Industrial Revolution. France was the center of this unrest, & French Socialism became its chief vehicle during the generation which followed the fall of Napoleon & the restoration of the old regime in 1815. Of the competing Socialist Sch's, that of Henri de Saint-Simon was for a time the most influential; & though its founder died virtually unknown in 1825, his followers played a part in the revolutionary upheaval of 1830, before declining through splits & dissensions into yet another quasi-religious sect. Some aspects of this movement, with special reference to the part played in it by Jewish intellectuals are analyzed. It is Talmon's thesis that the Messianic strain in traditional Jewish thinking accounts for the prominence of recently emancipated Jews among the SaintSimonists, whose doctrine had a religious as well as a pol'al character.
