Montesquieu
Author: Catherine Volpilhac-Auger
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1009249126
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Since the last biography of Montesquieu in English (Shackleton, Oxford, 1961) Montesquieu scholarship has been entirely renewed, culminating in a critical edition of his complete works in twenty-two volumes that is nearing completion. Since 1998, this new edition of the complete works has considerably modified what was known about Montesquieu and his procedures, eliciting new translations and further studies. Additionally, several thousand manuscript pages were made public in 1994 and continue to generate further scholarly inquiry. The author of this compact biography, originally published by Gallimard 2017, is the director of the critical edition of the works and the most qualified scholar of Montesquieu. At once an introduction to Montesquieu's thought and a synthesis of current knowledge about his life and work, this book is full of insights and revised judgements about Montesquieu and how his political philosophy helped thrust Enlightenment onto the European agenda.

Montesquieu's 'The Spirit of the Laws'
Author:
Publisher: Anthem Press
ISBN: 1839982969
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 1018
Book Description
The Spirit of the Laws not only systematizes the foundational ideas of “separation of powers” and “balances and checks,” it provides the decisive response to the question of whether power in the nation-state can be limited in the aftermath of the Westphalian settlement of 1648. It describes a civilizational change through which power becomes domesticated, with built-in resistance to attempts to absolutize (or make total) political power. As such, it is the Bible of modern politics, now made more accessible to English readers than it ever has been.

Montesquieu and His Reader
Author: Diane Kollar Monticone
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
This study views De L'Esprit des Lois from the perspective of recent literary criticism, which suggests that authors purposely seek to involve readers in their works and even encourage them to create new meanings by looking beyond the text for further applications of its thoughts. Following ideas expressed by literary response theorists who view a work in terms of the reader's participation, the book examines the techniques which Montesquieu used to appeal to his reader and to cause him to create a version of it which reflects an individual perception of Montesquieu's thought. The investigation roceeds from a portrait of the authorial voice in the opening chapter to a study of the physical structure of the text, subsequently analyzing techniques which involve the reader in the text and which ultimately move him to create the unwritten text. Contents: Portrait of the Authorial Voice; Text Structure and Montesquieu's Relationship With the Reader; Moving the Reader into Text; and Creating the Unwritten Text
