Abstract

Anläßlich des 250. Todestags des Baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu veranstaltete die Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften ein Symposion, das auf die Aktualität seines Oeuvres abzielte. Namhafte französische und deutsche Sozial- und GeisteswissenschaftlerInnen diskutierten Potenzen und Grenzen des Operierens mit den Ideen dieses "philosophe" des 18. Jahrhunderts. Montesquieus Vorstellungen von der Teilung der Gewalten, vom Imperium, vom Verhältnis von Individuum und Gemeinschaft, seine Überzeugung von der Bedingtheit sozialer durch natürliche Phänomene oder die Annahme einer notwendigen Relation zwischen politischen Institutionen und der Kultur einer Gesellschaft wurden analysiert unter der Perspektive, wie sich damit Fragen beantworten lassen, vor denen die modernen Gesellschaften heute stehen. Einen besonderen Schwerpunkt bildeten die "Lettres persanes". Ging es zum einen um die Modellwirkung von Montesquieus Bestseller für das Genre des Brief- und Reiseromans, so verfaßten Berliner und Pariser Schüler "Lettres Berlinoises sur la France", in denen sie wechselseitige Vorurteile von Deutschen und Franzosen erörterten. Ergänzt wird der Band durch Dokumente, die Montesquieus Beziehungen zur Académie Royale des Sciences et Belles-Lettres bezeugen, wie z.B. sein Briefwechsel mit dem Akademiepräsidenten Maupertuis oder auch dessen Gedenkrede auf Montesquieu. Beigefügt ist dem Band eine neue deutsche Übersetzung der für die Imperien-Thematik zentralen "Réflexions sur la monarchie universelle en Europe".

Abstract

Montesquieu (1689–1755) is regarded as one of the most important thinkers of the Enlightenment. His Lettres persanes and L'Esprit des lois have been read by students and scholars throughout the last two centuries. While many have associated Montesquieu with the doctrine of the "separation of powers" in the history of ideas, Rebecca E. Kingston brings together leading international scholars who for the first time present a systematic treatment and discussion of the significance of his ideas more generally for the development of Western political theory and institutions. In particular, Montesquieu and His Legacy supplements the conventional focus on the institutional teachings of Montesquieu with attention to the theme of morals and manners. The contributors provide commentary on the broad legacy of Montesquieu's thought in past times as well as for the contemporary era.

Abstract

Dubbed 'the oracle' by no less an authority than James Madison, Montesquieu stands as a theoretical founder of the liberal political tradition. But equally central to his project was his account of the relationship of law to each nation's particular customs and place, a teaching that militates against universal political solutions. This teaching has sometimes been thought to stand in tension with his liberal constitutionalism. In this book, Keegan Callanan argues that Montesquieu's political particularism and liberalism are complementary and mutually reinforcing parts of a coherent whole. In developing this argument, Callanan considers Montesquieu's regime pluralism, psychological conception of liberty, approach to political reform, and account of 'the customs of a free people', including the complex interaction of religion and commerce. Callanan concludes that, by re-orienting our understanding of liberalism and redirecting our attention toward liberty's distinctive preconditions, a return to Montesquieu's political philosophy leaves us better prepared to confront liberal democracy's contested claim to universality.

Abstract

This book develops a new theoretical framework for studying the corruption, disintegration, and renewal of democracy: what it is, how it begins, and where in society it plays out. Näsström argues that modern democracy is a sui generis political form animated and sustained by a spirit of emancipation.
