Bol Given the intellectual force of liberalI'm, its political appeal, its economic effectiveness and its historical significance, why is it so unpopular among French intellectuals? Why does it elicit so little serious discussion? And why is it the object of so much confusion, so many clichés and misunderstandings?Is it simply out of resentment, because intellectuals feel that the market does not afford them the material and symbolic rewards that they believe they deserve? Is it just because they prefer to play a critical role in a society where capitalI'm is trI'mphant? Perhaps, but these reasons do not explain everything ? and they certainly don't explain the systematic rejection of liberal thought in France.A sociologist of knowledge rather than of social determinI'm, and a specialist in belief systems, Raymond Boudon ruthlessly analyses the cognitive mechanI'ms that make liberalI'm so hateful in the eyes of French intellectuals.The result is a keen, detailed review of the clichés that have encumbered discussions for more than thirty years.Raymond Boudon, a professor at the University of Paris-IV, is a member of the Académie des Sciences Morales et Politiques. He us the author of numerous works, most notably L?Inégalité des chances, La logique du social, L?Idéologie ou l?origine des idées reçues, L?Art de se persuader, Le Sens des valeurs and Déclin de la morale? Déclin des valeurs. He is the co-author, with R. Leroux, of Y a-t-il encore une sociologie?
