Abstract: Starting with the examination of public statements about “Arab Springs” from both sides of the Mediterranean, this article brings to light a philosophy of ambivalent History: on the one side, the arabo-Moslems people find, in the reviviscence of the French revolution, the paradoxical source of a new encapacitation; on the other side, Western intellectuals seek to discern, in the actions of the arabo-Moslems people, the foundations of a new teleology.
