Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book The Politcal Theory of Montesquieu written by Melvyn Richter and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1977-04-29 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume makes available in an English translation the most significant part of Montesquieu's political, social and legal theory. About two-thirds of the volume has been translated from the Spirit of the Laws, not redone in English since the eighteenth century. That version was notoriously inadequate: Montesquieu's key terms were not rendered consistently; often his meaning was distorted by giving the nearest English eighteenth-century legal or institutional equivalent. Finally, English usage has changed so much that the eighteenth-century translation makes Montesquieu seem both quaint and obscure. This volume also includes substantial selections from the Persian Letters and the Considerations on the Causes of the Romans; Greatness and Decline. Although adequate translations of these works exist, it seemed advisable to maintain intellectual and stylistic consistency by providing English versions on the same principles as the Spirit of the Laws.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this work is to trace the genesis of doux commerce from its origins as a social phenomenon, to its employment as a political theory in the Spirit of the Laws by the Enlightenment philosophe Montesquieu, to its implementation by entities globally in the aftermath. The study will seek to determine the importance of doux commerce to the evolutionary progression of societies and their economies during the eighteenth century, its role in the dissolution of mercantilism, and its position in the rise of free trade and industrial capitalism during the nineteenth century. The concept has only recently been given attention in the historiography by academicians beginning in the late twentieth century and has yet to receive an appropriate and multilayered consideration. Numerous scholarly exertions from the early modern and modern periods were consulted to formulate this corpus. Additionally, several letter books containing the epistolary correspondence of merchants were researched to highlight the virtuous nature of this system, its intersection amidst economic, social, and political landscapes, and the sheer breadth of knowledge required to succeed in commercial activity. The effort begins with a discussion of doux commerce from social to political and the governmental forms that could either be hospitable or hostile to its tenets and practitioners. Subsequently, a discussion of business manuals and occupational tutelage was needed to discern precisely how the beliefs of doux commerce were instilled in commercial actors. The usage of merchant letters as case studies underscores the values of this ethos and its dissemination by transatlantic merchants in the mid-to-late eighteenth century. The final portion of this labor reveals how laissez-faire intellectuals entwined doux commerce in their speeches and scholarship to advocate for peaceable international relations via the application of free market principles. 2The conduct of the mercantile order, it was further hoped, would tangibly alter the sensibilities of their respective societies, and function to upend traditional notions of societal hierarchies. Doux commerce was fused with the literary efforts and discourses of sociopolitical intellectuals during the late eighteenth and early-to-mid nineteenth centuries. Its propagation at economic, social, and political levels and the support of peace through free trade destabilized the Establishment and eroded the position of those who had historically benefitted from mercantilism. The theory of doux commerce accompanied a fundamental transformation at economic, social, and political levels, one that emphasized the inefficiencies of mercantilism and helped to generate the necessary environment for commercial republicanism, industrial capitalism, and harmonious international relations to flourish.
