Abstract
The interwar period in France was particularly volatile in terms of intellectual engagement in politics and produced an enormous array of manifestos, programmes and plans which sought a complete transformation of the political regime, of society and even of Man himself. These ideological tendencies stretched from the Young Right, which was strongly influenced by the intellectual baggage of the Action Française, through social-Catholicism and ‘personalism’, to the ‘neo-socialists’ and the ‘Young Turks’ of the SFIO and the Radical party respectively. In this study I employed the term ‘nonconformists’, coined by Loubet del Bayle, to refer to those who belonged to the more technocratically minded tendencies, whom Olivier Dard called ‘realists’ and who had the potential and the drive to exert influence beyond their immediate circles.KeywordsPolitical RegimeInterwar PeriodRadical PartyIntellectual EngagementIdeological TendencyThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
