To this end, he developed a naturalist and determinist historical method. His condemnation of the French Revolution and Jacobinism led him to be classified among counter-revolutionary and traditionalist thinkers. However, transforming himself into a historian of political ideas, he questioned the place of the individual within the social body and in relation to power. And it is ultimately as a conservative but liberal historian that Taine attempted, using history, to establish a science of politics that would shield France from the upheavals that marked it during the 19th century” (Éric Gasparini, Revue française d'histoire des idées politiques, Picard, no. 2/2014, p. 224).
