This article revisits Zeev Sternhell’s interpretation of fascism and the historiographical debates it provoked. It reconstructs his argument on the ideological origins of fascism within the European antiEnlightenment tradition and examines the controversies generated by his theses, particularly in French and Italian historiography. The analysis highlights the methodological tension between intellectual genealogy and political history in fascism historiography.
