De l'esprit des lois
Book • 1748
De l'esprit des lois is a landmark work in political theory written by Montesquieu.
Published in 1748, it is a comprehensive treatise that divides governments into three types: republics, monarchies, and despotisms.
Each type is associated with a primary principle: virtue for republics, honor for monarchies, and fear for despotisms.
The work emphasizes the separation of powers as a guarantor of political liberty and examines the impact of climate, terrain, and other societal factors on laws.
It also discusses the concept of 'esprit général' and its influence on the laws and customs of a nation.
The book has been highly influential in the history of political theory and jurisprudence.
