El Opio De Los Intelectuales Libro

Yingfu Ma HSS3-A Radicalism is merely stepping far away from the belief at the time, and Aron’s beliefs, while reasonable, fell far from French tradition. What seems to be like a radical stance at the time is largely due to his perspective on French republicanism. Claiming that French republicanism “was ideologically exhausted” was a far step away from the very foundations upon which France was built. To say that there exists two distinct communities that work individually rather than together as a unified whole is what undermines the “French [] universalism.” Aron proposed that “Algerians were not like the French, and France should stop trying to make them French.” There are explicit differences between France and Algeria in terms of community growth that it was simply inconceivable for one to assimilate into the other. Therefore many of those who worked in providing citizenship for Algerians and integrating Algeria into France since decades before fought against this significantly different way of thought. Aron’s rejection of this “universal republicanism” works in parallel to his rejection of integration, and is what fuels his belief in decolonization.
