"Cette étude porte sur le concept de l'honneur dans l'oeuvre de Montesquieu. En harmonie avec les principes méthodologiques qui président à l'édition critique en cours des OEuvres complètes de Montesquieu, l'approche génétique adoptée pour cette enquête permet de retracer l'élaboration de la pensée de Montesquieu, depuis les textes présentés à l'Académie de Bordeaux jusqu'à L'Esprit des lois, où émerge le concept d'honneur pour la première fois. Ce travail de recherche introduit la "catégorie" de l'impersonnalité dans la littérature critique qui porte sur l'oeuvre du Président et permet de saisir un changement très remarquable dans sa réflexion vers la moitié des années 1720."--Page 4 de la couverture.

Democracy in Moderation views constitutional liberal democracy as grounded in a principle of avoiding extremes and striking the right balance among its defining principles of liberty, equality, religion, and sustainable order, thus tempering tendencies toward sectarian excess. Such moderation originally informed liberal democracy, but now is neglected. Moderation can guide us intellectually and practically about domestic and foreign policy debates, but also serve the sustainability of the constitutional, liberal republic as a whole. Our recent theory thus doesn't help our practice, given our concerns about polarization and sectarianism in ideas, policy, and politics. A rediscovery of Montesquieu and his legacy in shaping America's complex political order, including influence on Washington's practical moderation and Tocqueville's philosophical moderation, addresses these enduring theoretical and practical problems. Moderation also offers a deeper theory of leadership or statesmanship, particularly regarding religion and politics, and of foreign policy and strategy rooted in liberal democracy's first principles.
