The reception of Emmanuel Joseph Sieyès's work went through several and alternating phases. Over the last few years, however, there has been a notable resurgence of interest in the abbot's thought. The volume intends to fit in the wake of this Sieyès-renaissance by proposing a reconstruction of the abbot's constitutional doctrine in the light of the latest interpretative acquisitions. The red thread that guides the analysis is the recognition that at the basis of Sieyès' main political-constitutional proposals there is a profoundly rationalist philosophical approach. In the volume, after having presented the core of this philosophical approach, the coherence that binds together the main constitutional institutions on which the abbot worked during the first years of the Revolution is highlighted. The book focuses, in particular, on the concepts that have contributed to forming the basic grammar of modern and liberal constitutionalism: representation, citizenship, constituent power, human rights, division of powers and control of constitutionality. By following this path, we intend to return an overall picture of the abbot's constitutional doctrine that respects its systematicity and originality.
