Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The Spirit of the Laws is, without question, one of the central texts in the history of eighteenth-century thought, yet there has been no complete, scholarly English-language edition since that of Thomas Nugent, published in 1750. This lucid translation renders Montesquieu's problematic text newly accessible to a fresh generation of students, helping them to understand quite why Montesquieu was such an important figure in the early enlightenment and why The Spirit of the Laws was, for example, such an influence upon those who framed the American constitution. Fully annotated, this edition focuses attention upon Montesquieu's use of sources and his text as a whole, rather than upon those opening passages towards which critical energies have traditionally been devoted, and a select bibliography and chronology are provided for those coming to Montesquieu's work for the first time.…

Only in a state of perfect culture would peace be of benefit to us. In this light, one can understand the conditions for peace in Kant's Perpetual Peace. They amount to the development of a perfect culture. Their appearance of virtual impossibility was not a product of Kant's impracticality, but rather of his hardheaded notion that war is a good thing until perfection has been achieved. It is war that keeps states from degenerating into quiet tyranny. Men have in them the possibility of eventual perfection and it is their inadequacies that lead to war, not the workings of history or an evil providence. The same can be said of the length of men's lives and of their dream of a golden age without the conflicts of civilized life. In the first place, men's short life is necessary and a blessing. If men lived longer, their natural characteristics would have an increased capacity to develop at a time when world culture had not yet been substituted for them. In a longer life they would lead to accumulating more cares and grievances. The vices of the human species would grow to such an extent that another flood would be required.'

Zustand: very good. New York ; London : Basic Books, 1970. Hardcover. Dustjacket. - The world is suffering, or enjoying - depending upon one's point of view - a rennaissance of nationalism. New nations have emerged, and the older nations are struggling with the new nationalism of their ethnic and racial minorities. Dr. Cohler asks what, if any, support may be found in political philosophy for nationalism, the opinion that good government will be produced by unifying men on the basis of nonpolitical similarities into the same political order. Her pursuit of the answer to this important question has produced a rigorous and original inquiry into the first and most profound statement of the argument for national- ism, that of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, which demonstrates both the solidity of Rousseau's political thought and the seriousness of the argument for nationalism. This book goes beyond much of the literature of nationalism in its brilliant exploration of the basis of nationalism in political philosophy. Condition : very good copy.
