This book brings to light the way in which basic ideas of the Enlightenment were invented and how a French aristocrat discovered the foundations of modern democracies. A life devoted to the study of law, science, and the histories of all societies made it possible for Montesquieu to show how liberty was the thing most at stake in political thought.
