Abstract:

The idea of revolution in the European context was initially characterized by a periodic return to the past political system. In the mid-17^th century, it began to have the meaning of violent political changes, gradually approaching the modern meaning of revolution. After the English Civil War, the idea of revolution became secularized when the power that dominated the revolution was no longer God, but reason and science. The outbreak of the French Revolution gave birth to a modern idea of revolution that embodied drastic changes, totality and universality. The success of the Haitian Revolution has given the idea of revolution new connotations such as anti-imperialism, anti-colonialism and anti-racism. Investigating the emergence and transformation of the idea of revolution from the perspective of temporality and spatiality, we can make it clear that modern idea of revolution is more than the product of Europe or the result of the global dissemination of European idea of revolution. It is a mixture of the idea of revolution in Europe and different local elements that affect and shape each other.

Key words: the idea of revolution, connotation, transformation, global intellectual history
