ABSTRACT This article analyses the abbé de Saint-Pierre as a mediator of ideas between France and England. The political proposal of the Projet pour rendre la paix perpétuelle en Europe circulated in Great Britain just before the signing of the peace treaties of Utrecht and Aachen, attesting the influence that Saint-Pierre’s proposal exerted on British thought and politics. The abbé was engaged in dialogue with Quaker pacifists and, in particular, with the projects put forward by William Penn and John Bellers, both theorists of a ‘European State’. After examining the relationship between Penn’s Essay and Saint-Pierre’s ideas, the article will demonstrate how elements of Bellers’s Some Reasons found their way into the Projet with numerous convergences of lexicon and content suggesting that the abbé had drawn inspiration from Bellers. Quaker ideas on politics had a greater effect on Saint-Pierre’s conception of peace and international relations than is commonly recognized. In fact, there was a constant intellectual exchange between the abbé and British political, economic and philosophical thought.

圣皮埃尔,英国和平主义和对永久和平的追求(1693-1748)

摘要 本文分析了作为法国和英国之间思想调解人的圣皮埃尔神父。就在乌得勒支和亚琛和平条约签署之前,欧洲永久和平计划的政治提案在英国流传,证明了圣皮埃尔的提案对英国思想和政治的影响。神父正在与贵格会和平主义者进行对话,特别是与威廉·佩恩和约翰·贝勒斯提出的项目进行对话,他们都是“欧洲国家”的理论家。在检查了 Penn's Essay 和 Saint-Pierre 思想之间的关系之后,本文将展示 Bellers 的 Some Reasons 的元素是如何通过词汇和内容的大量融合而进入 Projet 的,这表明该神父是从 Bellers 那里获得灵感的。贵格会的政治思想对圣皮埃尔的和平与国际关系观念的影响比普遍公认的要大。事实上,神父与英国政治、经济和哲学思想之间一直存在着思想上的交流。
