This chapter discusses the emergence of laicity as a central policy issue in France during the Fifth Republic. It also looks at the prominent intellectuals who played a role in this process: Condorcet, Edgar Quinet and Ferdinand Buisson. The chapter examines their respective roles in the conceptualization of laicity, its adjectival determination and its elevation into a substantive political principle.
