Book Synopsis
The Spirit of the Laws - Montesquieu's huge, complex, and enormously influential work - is considered one of the central texts of the Enlightenment, laying the foundation for the liberally democratic political regimes. This title argues that the inherently theological project of Enlightenment liberalism is made clear in Spirit.

Trade Review
"Pangle's close textual analysis time and again sheds new light on passages that scholars have been citing for years. His interpretive lens helps to make sense of them in ways that genuinely advance our knowledge of Montesquieu's own project, the rise of liberal modernity, and the contemporary dilemmas of secularism." - Sharon Krause, Brown University.
