The historiographical perspective that Furet's interpretation represents in the essay you read is revisionist.

Francois Furet (1927-1997) was a French historian that wrote some books about the French Revolution. He had a particular vision of the events, as a former member of the French Communist Party. His revisionist style, which means he critically reevaluated the facts of the history of the French Revolution, made him see the revolutionary times since the optic of totalitarianism of European countries such as Italy of Benito Mussolini, the Soviet Union of Joseph Stalin or the Germany of Adolph Hitler.
