The book begins with the invention of French academical philosophy by Victor Cousin in the beginning of the XIXth century. Cousin is the first actor of the secularization and, as a minister, he established the educational cursus. In addition to that, similar modifications occurred in librairies, the French record office and history (among historians, the most influent is Michelet). The general secularization of society and culture causes odd results, even in the so-called Cartesian medical science. On the contrary, in the field of arts and literature, romanticism since Baudelaire has the opportunity to become main stream. Consequently, the so-called realism has been connected to secular philosophy of sensualism and socialism. Yet an author cannot be materialist and Christian by the same time. A poet, Baudelaire, shows to men of our time that charity excludes it. Nowadays, the revolts again the excesses of legal techniques are a social manifestation of the reluctens again all this secularization. Secular activists are unhappily too often allies of conquering Islamists. Communism is out-of-date, but the European culture is jeopardized and must be reaffirmed. Victor Cousin est la figure qui instaure la sécularisation de la philosophie académique française après la Révolution. Il est aussi le ministre qui nationalise les études littéraires et le cursus de l'éducation secondaire et supérieure. Les institutions du patrimoine, archives, bibliothèques, lieux de mémoire, historiographie, suivent. Le discours des sciences, en particulier médicales, prétendument cartésien, produit des fictions peu convaincantes. Alors que, au contraire, à l'âge du romantisme d'un Baudelaire, le sentiment esthétique l'emporte définitivement sur le Beau idéal dans les arts et dans les lettres; et que le réalisme ne sera que l'esthétique des matérialistes, et bientôt des socialistes. Être ou redevenir chrétien implique désormais d'y échapper. Aujourd'hui, les révoltes contre la technicité conventionnelle des lois sont le signe de la résistance à ces sécularisations au long cours. Le militantisme laïc, lui, ne peut être qu'insatisfait de se retrouver idiot utile de l'Islam hégémonique. Notre culture européenne en devenir mérite mieux.
