Dans La Ruine de la civilisation antique, publie apres la Premiere Guerre mondiale, le grand historien et intellectuel italien Guglielmo Ferrero conduit son lecteur a prendre du recul vis-a-vis de l'histoire contemporaine par une relecture en profondeur de la Rome antique, au moment de sa chute. Par ce detour, Ferrero analyse les mecanismes politiques et culturels a l'oeuvre dans le temps long d'une histoire politique occidentale qui est avant tout celle de la civilisation europeenne. Cet usage de l'histoire comme d'une lanterne eclairant le temps present n'a rien perdu de son actualite et de sa finesse. Relire Ferrero aujourd'hui dans la crise que nous traversons, c'est ecouter un europeen convaincu, qui ecrivait deja que l'Europe se sauverait ou perirait tout entiere et que, dans la bascule entre ces deux avenirs, la question de la forme des regimes politiques et de leur sincerite au regard des principes europeens n'est pas anecdotique mais centrale.
