Protiv duha pobune. Tradicionalistička osuda filozofije reformacije i revolucije
Against the Spirit of Rebellion. A Traditionalists Condemnation of the Philosophy of Reformation and Revolution

Summary/Abstract: In the first part of the paper, the traditionalistic critique of the French Revolution is presented, primarily through the characters of Joseph de Maistre and Edmund Burke. The second part is dedicated to the reception of the Protestantism of the Catholic reaction, especially in the view of detecting the ‘spirit of rebellion’ in it, as the nucleus of the posture or mentality that will mark the emerging subversive political and social upheavals. The concluding part of the paper exposes the influence and treatment of early conservative thought in modernity, finding that, in a persistent struggle against radical social reform, it sometimes had the role of the reasonable warning and, more rarely, the corrective of pretentious revolutionary interventions.
