1758 RARE Montesquieu Spirit of the Laws Political Philosophy Government MAPS
“Useless laws weaken the necessary laws.”
― Montesquieu, The Spirit of the Laws
Charles-Louis de Montesquieu was a French political philosopher who is known for his works on political theory.
His most famous work was Spirit of the Laws – a work so influential that world leaders such as Catherine the Great and the United States founding fathers applied the methods taught in this book to their cultures future. This famed work found itself on the infamous Prohibited Book Index in 1751 even though it was well-respected and well-read around the world.
Montesquieu lists a few major points in his work; points that have resonated with government for centuries. These include:
Separation of power
Liberty and democracy are one in the same
The point of civil and criminal law is to ensure personal security
Qualities and flaws of governmental types
Spirit of the Laws and other works of Montesquieu were published as collection in 1758 by Arkstee and Merkus in Amsterdam. This 3-volume set is notable for the inclusion of 2 impressive, folding maps – a world map and Europe.
