"My Thoughts" provides a unique window into the mind of one of the
undisputed pioneers of modern thought, the author of "The Spirit of
the Laws". From the publication of his first masterpiece, "Persian
Letters", in 1721, until his death in 1755, Montesquieu maintained
notebooks in which he wrote and dictated ideas on a wide variety of
topics. Some of the contents are early drafts of passages that
Montesquieu eventually placed in his published works; others are
outlines or early versions of projected works that were ultimately
lost, unfinished, or abandoned. These notebooks provide important
insights into his views on a broad range of topics, including
morality, religion, history, law, economics, finance, science, art,
and constitutional liberty. Montesquieu called these notebooks,
"Mes Pensees" (My Thoughts), and they appear in their entirety in
English for the first time in this Liberty Fund edition. Editor and
translator Henry C Clark provides readers with translations of most
of the footnotes contained in the 1991 French edition by Louis
Desgraves, while adding new notes and other aids to understanding
the text and translation. These features provide the frame for a
revealing portrait of one of the most influential figures of the
eighteenth century.
