| Summary: | Covers the work and thought of Montesquieu, French political philosopher of the Enlightenment. Provides an introduction to his work and influence on the history of ideas, and the foundations of modern thought.
"Emphasis has been placed on topics and works so as to make an extraordinarily rich, nuanced and often complex body of thought genuinely accessible.

The biography, centered on precise points, has not been overlooked. Thematic groupings (Religion, Esthetics, History, Antiquity, Justice, etc.) make it possible to follow paths that can be extended and differentiated as the Dictionary is enriched (as this second edition already testifies),"
