A number of Montesquieu's lesser-known discourses, dissertations
and dialogues are made available to a wider audience, for the first
time fully translated and annotated in English. The views they
incorporate on politics, economics, science, and religion shed
light on the overall development of his political and moral
thought. They enable us better to understand not just Montesquieu's
importance as a political philosopher studying forms of government,
but also his stature as a moral philosopher, seeking to remind us
of our duties while injecting deeper moral concerns into politics
and international relations. They reveal that Montesquieu's vision
for the future was remarkably clear: more science and less
superstition; greater understanding of our moral duties; enhanced
concern for justice, increased emphasis on moral principles in the
conduct of domestic and international politics; toleration of
conflicting religious viewpoints; commerce over war, and liberty
over despotism as the proper goals for mankind.
