This book provides an introductory survey of Montesquieu's economic
ideas and a fresh examination of the longstanding controversy over
the meaning and purpose of Montesquieu's The Spirit of the Laws. No
one doubts that Montesquieu helped to formulate the core liberal
ideals at the heart of the development of liberal republican
traditions on both the European and American continents. Yet,
questions remain about Montesquieu's political intentions. In
particular, the view of Montesquieu as a conscious proponent of
commercial modernity has come under increasing scrutiny. While not
ignoring recent scholarly challenges, Bibby moves the debate
forward by uncovering the many hidden connections between commerce,
liberty, and religion in The Spirit of the Laws. A failure to make
these connections, Bibby argues, has led to significant
interpretative errors. This book attempts to eliminate one source
of the confusion which continues to cloud Montesquieu's political
philosophy in obscurity.
