Montesquieu's The Spirit of Laws is one of a handful of classic
works of political philosophy deserving a fresh reading every
generation. The product of immense erudition, Montesquieu's
treatise has captured since its first printing (1748) the
imagination of an impressive array of intellectuals including
Rousseau, Voltaire, Beccaria, Madison, Hamilton, Jefferson, Herder,
Siey_s, Condorcet, Robespierre, Bentham, Burke, Constant, Hegel,
Tocqueville, Emile Durkheim, Raymond Aron, and Hannah Arendt. In
what constitutes the only English-language collection of essays
ever dedicated to the analysis of Montesquieu's contributions to
political science, the contributors review some of the most vexing
controversies that have arisen in the interpretation of
Montesquieu's thought. By paying careful attention to the
historical, political, and philosophical contexts of Montesquieu's
ideas, the contributors provide fresh readings of The Spirit of
Laws, clarify the goals and ambitions of its author, and point out
the pertinence of his thinking to the problems of our world today.
