Montesquieu revisited
Provides in-depth analysis of the life, works, career, and critical importance of Montesquieu.
- "Montesquieu (1689-1755) was one of the major figures of the French Enlightenment. He was a widely travelled man, unusual in those days for French intellectuals, and like de Tocqueville a century later, he brought his magnificent powers of observation to bear on what he had seen. Credited as one of the principal inventors of what we today call political science, Montesquieu is primarily known to English-speaking readers by the great work De l'esprit des lois (Spirit of the Laws). But Les Lettres Persanes (The Persian Letters) is still required reading in French lycees and universities and is considered as much a literary work as a political treatise."
