Abstract (en)

Explores Viollet-le-Duc's idea of progress and history from his description of the origins of architecture and his account of the great periods of mankind. Notes that Viollet-le-Duc's historical dialectic comes through most clearly in his description of the difference between Greek and Gothic architecture.
