	Joseph de Maistre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		De Maistre argued for the restoration of hereditary monarchy, which he regarded as a divinely sanctioned institution, and for the supreme authority of the Pope in both religious and political matters.
		De Maistre considered the Revolution of 1789 as a Providential occurrence: the monarchy, the aristocracy, and the whole of the old French society, instead of using the powerful influence of French civilization to benefit mankind, had instead promoted the destructive atheistic doctrines of the eighteenth-century philosophers.
		The shedding of blood, the expiation of the sins of the guilty by the innocent is for de Maistre a law as mysterious as it is indubitable, the principle that propels humanity in its return to God and the explanation for the existence and the perpetuity of war.

		It is the fact round which Madame Cottin has woven her romance "Elisabeth, ou les exilés de la Sibérie", but the story of Xavier de Maistre is by far the truer to life and more pathetic.
		In 1825 de Maistre wrote, as a pendant to his first work, in the same vein, and with the same charm, the "Expédition nocturne autour de ma chambre."
		Xavier de Maistre, it is true, has written only booklets, but these booklets are masterpieces of their kind.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Comte de Maistre
		The writings of Joseph de Maistre (as well as those of his younger brother — Xavier de Maistre) were all in French, then the literary language of Piedmont.
		One of these, "L'examen de la Philosophie de Bacon", (Paris, 1836; 2 vols in 8vo), is an attack on Locke and Condillac, and in general on the French philosophers of the eighteenth century, in the person whom the author considers as the father of their system.
		For Joseph de Maistre, the existence of evil, far from obscuring the designs of God, throws a new light on them; for the moral world and the physical world are inter-related.

	Voyage around my Room - Xavier de Maistre
		De Maistre suffered few hardships: he had his faithful servant tending to his daily needs, and his dog, Rosine, is a stalwart companion.
		Physically de Maistre could not roam far and so most of the travels were, indeed, leaps of the imagination -- but he did find a surprising amount of material in his fairly comfortable room.
		De Maistre proceeds at a leisurely pace -- and is disappointed (as is the reader) at how soon the allotted time is up, knowing that in the outside world everyday life will not permit such fine contemplation.

		By treating his bed, his armchair, the artworks on the wall and his small library as major tourist sites, he planned to reflect upon their history, their importance to him, and the philosophical questions that they brought to mind.
		He studies a mirror and concludes that it is "a perfect picture, one with which it is impossible to find fault." In judging the arts, he decides that painting should be viewed as superior to music because it is less prey to fashion.
		The introspective de Maistre maintains that he is himself a dual being -- a soul and the Other, which he sometimes calls the Beast.

		Xavier de Maistre, a twenty-seven-year-old Frenchman found himself in this uneasy situation when he was arrested in Turin after a duel, in the Spring of 1790.
		Whether travelling from his bed to his sofa, or even to his mirror, he wears his ‘travelling outfit’, consisting of his favourite pink and blue pyjamas.
		Out of his forced reclusion comes a delightful fantasy, and de Maistre’s new take on the travel literature of the past went on to inspire many future writers, such as Marcel Proust.
