Summary: Best Book on Best Modern Political Philosopher
Comment: This is the finest English-language commentary on the magnum opus of the deepest of the modern political philosophers (Harvard's Harvey Mansfield calls Espirit de Lois the most comprehensive work of political philosophy since Aristotle's Politics). Contrary to the now prevailing opinion that Montesquieu was merely a philosophe (as opposed to a philosopher) who was a lesser light than his contemporaries or near contemporaries such as Rousseau (and even Voltaire!), Pangle restores Montesquieu's rightful place among the pinnacle of modern liberalism. In particular, Pangle rightfully argues that it is not Adam Smith but Montesquieu who deserves to be called the founder of capitalism, and how Montesquieu's own economic thought is a culmination of the modern liberal project: the attempt to replace the flourishing of (classical) virtue with more lowly yet achievable goal of peace and prosperity through unleashing selfish interests or passions as the goal of politics. My only regret with this work is that Pangle did not elaborate how crucial Montesquieu's economism was to the Founders of the American republic, in particular Madison and Jefferson.
