The Spirit of Laws is one of the most influential books of all time. This masterpiece of political philosophy was widely read throughout Europe, attracted an especially enthusiastic readership in England, and had a profound effect on the framers of the American Constitution. Montesquieu (1689-1755), already famous and controversial through his Persian Letters, a work of his youth in which he humorously satirized the foibles of French society, turned in his later years to this serious treatise on the nature of law. But though the subject itself was profound, this gravitas did not inhibit the famous Montesquieu wit. Master of the pithy bon mot, he managed to survey a great deal of political and philosophical territory while keeping his readers charmed with memorable and artfully turned phrases. "Liberty," he says, "consists in the ability to do what one ought to desire and in not being forced to do what one ought not to desire." Concerning the unpopularity of the English in France, he says it is due to their arrogance, which is such that even in peace "they seem to negotiate with none but enemies."
The scope of this masterful work is truly prodigious. Montesquieu explores the essentials of good government; compares and contrasts despotism, monarchy, and democracy; and discusses the factors that lead to corruption of governments. Among the many other topics considered are education of the citizenry, crime and punishment, abuse of power and of liberty, individual rights, taxation, slavery, the role of women, the influence of climate on the temper of a people and their form of government, commerce, religion, and a host of additional subjects.
The Spirit of Laws is essential and genuinely enjoyable reading for anyone interested in the development of democracy.

2016年4月9日 《论法的精神》 莫名其妙地被孟德斯鸠感动了……这就是我想找的书啊otz 历时二十年写成,跪谢otz ①孟德斯鸠认为人的自然状态是和平,而霍布斯则认为是战争。他们的讨论已经接近“人性本善还是本恶”这个经典论题了。 在人性善恶论上,我以前是个中立者,觉得人天...
评分 评分乍一听到书的题目,我本以为这是一部法学著作,在读完这本《论法的精神》之后,我改变了看法,自动将这本书分为了三部分,即对书的整体认知分为三个部分,对于孟德斯鸠其人也有了更为深入的认识,从一开始的钦佩到后来的折服到最后的客观,也可谓是“一波三折”。孟德斯鸠...
评分这本书的名字应该是学习过历史的人几乎都知道的,对法国资产阶级革命的启蒙具有非常重要的意义,可惜大概很多人都停留在这个被某个大家高度综合的观点上而放弃了拜读原作。很庆幸自己还是选择了阅读经典,让高度综合的评价在各个方面有更多具体的表述,大概读书最大的收获就在...
