Reviews

""Montesquieu and the Logic of Liberty "has put the term to that question of Montesquieu the secular modernist. It is a compelling and masterful work, in which Paul Rahe has completely conceptualized the contemporary discourse in the form of a comprehensive interpretation of Montesquieu, graced with elegant historical awareness, and a compelling defense of its continuing relevance. This is a must read!" W. B. Allen, author of "Rethinking Uncle Tom: The Political Philosophy of H. B. Stowe"

Erudite, nuanced and provocative. This is a powerful book that will make a lasting impression. Rahe presents a daring new interpretation suggesting Montesquieu s lack of confidence in monarchy s future. He also focuses on previously ignored texts that elucidate Montesquieu's motives in all three of his major works. A must read for anyone interested in French and English constitutional history and in the prospects for liberty in modern, republican regimes. David W. Carrithers, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga
