Book excerpt: Montesquieu's Spirit of the Laws (1748) is one of the outstanding works of modern social thought. Durkheim's Latin thesis (1892) is not only one of the outstanding interpretations of that work, but also a seminal statement of his own ideas on society and on sociological method. It was the companion thesis to The Division of Labour and a forerunner of The Rules of Sociological Method. This is the first English translation directly from the original Latin text, and also includes the original text, along with full editorial notes, a related article by Durkheim on Hyppolite Taine and a commentary on Durkheim and Montesquieu by W. Watts Miller.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last hundred years, the philosophy of natural law has suffered a fate that could hardly have been envisaged by the seventeenth and eighteenth century exponents of its universality and eternity: it has become old-fashioned. The positivists and the Marxists were happy to throw eternal moral ity out of the window, confident that some magic temporal harmony would eventually follow Progress in by the front door. Their hopes may not have been fully realized, but they did succeed in discrediting natural law. What is often not appreciated is the extent to which we have adopted the tenets of the philosophy they despised, borh in the field of politics, and in the field of personal and social ethics, which Barbeyrac called "la science des mreurs" and which the positivists re christened "social science". Consequently, though we live in a world whose freedom, such as it is, is largely a result of the popularization of the philosophy of natural law, and whose conscious and unconscious standards, such as they are, are a result of that philosophy as it became combined with Christianity, the doctrine of natural law is itself for gotten. In view of the oblivion into which it has fallen, natural law is a concept which means little to the average reader. All too often, Montesquieu scholars have traded on this oblivion in order to give an exaggerated picture of his originality.

Download or read book The Classical Tradition in Sociology written by Raymond Boudon and published by SAGE Publications Limited. This book was released on 1997-12-26 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This four-volume set presents an unrivalled collection of the key literature in European sociology. The prestigious texts range across the European tradition from enlightenment to contemporary theory. The collection explodes the myth that the European tradition in sociology is a debate with the ghosts of Karl Marx and Max Weber, demonstrating that the tradition is far more deeply rooted and broadly based. Volume 1 is devoted to the emergence of European sociology. The contribution of classical political economy and the Enlightenment is examined. Commentaries on the work of Hobbes, Locke, Montesquieu, Taine, Rousseau, de Tocqueville, Comte and St. Simon are included. The volume creates a vivid and compelling picture o
Download or read book Montesquieu written by Simone Goyard-Fabre and published by Presses Universitaires de France - PUF. This book was released on 1993 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En quel sens Montesquieu est-il, au-delà de son art d'écrire, un philosophe de la liberté ? Telle est la question qui traverse cet ouvrage destiné à montrer comment le juridisme de l'auteur de L'Esprit des lois trouve sa signification philosophique dans ses racines métajuridiques. Le modèle constitutionnel que caractérise l'équilibre des pouvoirs dans l'Etat trouve sa fondation métaphysique dans le rapport entre liberté et nature. L'idée de liberté, opposée dans l'ordre politique à ce qui est contre nature, implique référence à " la nature des choses " ; loin de consister en une affirmation conquérante de l'homme, elle ne trouve sa vérité qu'en se rapportant à l'ordre naturel. Quant aux lois civiles et politiques, elles médiatisent la liberté des hommes dans l'exacte mesure où la relativité de leurs maximes positives respecte l'universalité de la loi naturelle. La pensée de Montesquieu est ici reconstruite à travers l'étude des héritages antiques et modernes que véhicule l'œuvre et qui en dessinent la figure singulière.
Download or read book Montesquieu written by Francine Markovits and published by Vrin. This book was released on 2008 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La loi, en général, est la raison humaine, en tant qu'elle gouverne tous les peuples de la terre ; et les lois politiques et civiles de chaque nation ne doivent être que les cas particuliers où s'applique cette raison humaine. Elles doivent être tellement propres au peuple pour lequel elles sont faites, que c'est un très grand hasard si celles d'une nation peuvent convenir à une autre. Il faut qu'elles se rapportent à la nature et au principe du gouvernement qui est établi, ou qu'on veut établir ; soit qu'elles le forment, comme font les lois politiques ; soit qu'elles le maintiennent, comme font les lois civiles. Elles doivent être relatives au physique du pays ; au climat glacé, brûlant ou tempéré ; à la qualité du terrain, à sa situation, à sa grandeur ; au genre de vie des peuples, laboureurs, chasseurs ou pasteurs ; elles doivent se rapporter au degré de liberté que la constitution peut souffrir ; à la religion des habitants, à leurs inclinations, à leurs richesses, à leur nombre, à leur commerce, à leurs mœurs, à leurs manières.Enfin elles ont des rapports entre elles ; elles en ont avec leur origine, avec l'objet du législateur, avec l'ordre des choses sur lesquelles elles sont établies. C'est dans toutes ces vues qu'il faut les considérer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Théorie des climats, doctrine de la séparation des pouvoirs... ces grands thèmes masquent l'importance des développements consacrés par l'Esprit des lois au domaine de l'économie politique. Au cours du XVIIIè siècle s'affirme une appréhension nouvelle de la dimension économique des sociétés à laquelle Montesquieu contribue de façon originale ; la science sociale qu'il constitue inclut l'analyse du mouvement des richesses. Toutefois la prise en compte de l'importance de la réalité économique, l'observation des transformations sociales ne vont pas sans provoquer de fortes tensions au sein de l'Esprit des lois : si l'essor du commerce pacifie les relations entre nations, l'extension de l'esprit mercantile ruine les valeurs nobiliaires chères à Montesquieu, le rôle croissant des richesses vient mettre en cause la place de la noblesse et la stabilité de l'ordre monarchique. Suprématie du politique ou dominance de l'économie, le problème qui se dessine alors reste le nôtre.
