Bergier was responsible for a considerable number of critical works of controversy against the Enlightenment philosophers, notably against the materialists, as a defender of the church and religion. He attacks Rousseau and his theses particularly here, notably those set forth in Emile, which he considers dangerous for man, the state, and religion.
