Zusammenfassung

A vital resource for students of the Enlightenment. The volume provides English translations – the first in nearly all cases – of varied and insightful discourses, dissertations, and dialogues elaborating Montesquieu's evolving thinking on a wide variety of topics, many of which will be new and crucial to readers of his more canonical works.

Zusatztext

'This collection of previously untranslated works by Montesquieu is beautifully executed and long overdue. It demonstrates the great sweep of Montesquieu's esprit across topics ranging from modern science to ancient Rome to the politics, morality, and economics of his time. Scholars of Montesquieu and students of the Enlightenment will long be indebted to Carrithers and Stewart for this very fine volume.' Sharon Krause, Brown University
