English summary: Conservatism has not had an easy time of it. It is confused with everything that it is not -inaction, reaction, traditionalism, even counter-revolution - not to mention the misleading influence that American neo-conservatism has managed to have. So what does conservatism consist of, and is it still relevant? By way of an answer, the author outlines an intellectual history of conservative thought, from Cicero to the present day. He points out the key elements (authority, freedom, common good, trust) on which conservative philosophy is founded and which make it authentic and sustainable. Yet conservatism cannot be summed up in a doctrine. One need only read Jane Austen, Chateaubriand, Balzac, or Evelyn Waugh to grasp that conservatism is also a style of thought, a way of coming to terms with life in all of its dimensions: literature, religion and moral life, history, economics and life in society.
