Abstract

When Octavio Paz received the Alexis de Tocqueville Award from the hands of French President François Mitterrand in June 1989, he announced the death of Revolution or, better, of what he and other thinkers have called the revolutionary myth that formed the backbone of the project of modernity after the triumph of the French Revolution. That myth was dying a natural death due to the steady advance of what various intellectuals and politicians of the time denominated democratic liberalism, not stabbed by some saintly counterrevolutionary Alliance intent on restoring the ancién regime.
