In his book, The cultural origins of the French Revolution, he argues, not as Rousseau and Voltaire reconnaissance had prepared the revolution, but reversed its precursor role, as it was invented by the revolutionaries in order to legitimize the revolution and ideological underpinning.

It also deals with historical epistemology.

In 1992 he received the Grand Prix Gobert for his oeuvre. He is a corresponding member of the British Academy. He is a Knight of the Legion of Honour.
