Tyranny and legitimacy: Rome and the social contract. 520 $a "Montesquieu and the Spirit of Rome argues that the eighteenth-century French author Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu (1689-1755) developed a novel, comprehensive account of Roman history that framed his new political science and grounded his political teachings. Rome's legacy in early-modern thought turns on the work of Montesquieu, and through Rome Montesquieu articulated the strengths and weaknesses of the modern state-the moderation that can distinguish it and sources of extremism that must haunt it. This book is the first to unify Montesquieu's Roman thoughts; it is the first to reconstruct the Rome that was one of his most powerful legacies in the 18th and 19th centuries. Montesquieu and the Spirit of Rome restores Rome to its proper place at the peak of Montesquieu's thought and Montesquieu's thought to its proper place in the history of classical study. It treats Montesquieu as what he claimed to be - a jurist, a poet, a historian, and a political writer of the first rank, ad it revives his hard-nosed defence of moderation."--Publisher description. 600 10 $a Montesquieu, Charles de Secondat, $c baron de, $d 1689-1755 $x Political and social views. 600 10 $a Montesquieu, Charles de Secondat, $c baron de, $d 1689-1755. $t ConsideÌrations sur les causes de la grandeur des Romains. 600 10 $a Montesquieu, Charles de Secondat, $c baron de, $d 1689-1755. $t De l'esprit des lois. 600 10 $a Montesquieu, Charles de Secondat, $c baron de, $d 1689-1755. $t Lettres persanes. 650 0 $a Political science $x History $y 18th century. 651 0 $a Rome $x Early works to 1800. $x Early works to 1800. 651 0 $a Rome $x Historiography. 600 17 $a Montesquieu, Charles de Secondat, $c baron de, $d 1689-1755 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00037237 650 7 $a Historiography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958221 650 7 $a Political and social views. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353986 650 7 $a Political science. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069781 651 7 $a Rome (Empire) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204885 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 655 7 $a Early works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411636 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 710 2 $a Voltaire Foundation, $e issuing body. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781802070835 773 18 $w 990075856550202771 $g no:31858072866522 830 0 $a Oxford University studies in the Enlightenment ; $v 2022:10. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014259.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7CC2A39CDDAE11EDB031D5162DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
