| Research Abstract |
With the coming of the modern society, based on the intimate relationship between *knowing* and *governing*, appeared a new kind of knowledge. It is, for examples, statistics aiming the quantitative grasp of the elements of national force (territory, population, industry and so on) or public hygiene situating diseases not in the personal body but in the social environment for their prevention much more than their cure, that playd an important role in making of the modern national societies between the end of the 18^<th> century and the beginning of the 19^<th> century. This knowledge, not yet recognized as established scientific theory, will work definitively on the transformation and regulation of peoples' habits and mores. The century of the Enlightenment, while preparing the point of depart for the modern sciences through the reform of the traditional theoretical knowledge, also produced a system of practical knowledge which E.Sieyes and other revolutionaries called *the social art* to realize the integration of the modern Nation-Sate. Our inquiry made it possible to shed light on the contribution of this kind of knowledge in the three main revel of society, namely(1)that of total society, which is organized as the Nation-State, (2)that of family, which is the most elementary social group and(3)that of intermediary groups between family and national society, with some case studies in Europe, in America and in Japan.
