The ‘Warsaw School of History of Ideas’ is the name given to a ‘revisionist
think tank’ which was led by the historian Bronisław Baczko from 1956
to 1968 in Communist Poland. This group reunited scholars like Leszek
Kołakowski or Krzysztof Pomian around questions related to political
believes, theological conceptions or utopian thought. Expelled from the
University, B. Baczko left Poland and seek shelter in Geneva where he
became a Professor of history of Ideas and historiography. In his new
home, he developed an original vision on Enlightenment and the French
Revolution
