As Britain and France became more powerful during the eighteenth
century, small states such as Geneva could no longer stand
militarily against these commercial monarchies. Furthermore, many
Genevans felt that they were being drawn into a corrupt commercial
world dominated by amoral aristocrats dedicated to the unprincipled
pursuit of wealth. In this book Richard Whatmore presents an
intellectual history of republicans who strove to ensure Geneva’s
survival as an independent state. Whatmore shows how the Genevan
republicans grappled with the ideas of Rousseau, Voltaire, Bentham,
and others in seeking to make modern Europe safe for small states,
by vanquishing the threats presented by war and by empire.
