About Idéologues
The idéologues were a group of French philosophers, physicians and economists, active from the mid-1790s until the end of the Napoleonic era. With the philosopher Antoine Destutt de Tracy and the physician Pierre-Jean-Georges Cabanis as their leading theorists, the group aimed to develop a systematic "science of ideas" grounded in eighteenth-century sensualist epistemology and focused on moral, political and educational reform. Although they were never a formal academy, the idéologues nonetheless influenced France's educational system and intellectual life during the Directory through the Institut de France, the journal La Décade philosophique and salons such as that of Madame Helvétius.
