Voltaire criticizes the use of detail in ancient historians and memorialists because he contests the traditional historical method and pleads for a «new historiographical world» where the «spirit of the age» is the main character, and not princes, conquerors or heroes.","PeriodicalId":36096,"journal":{"name":"Montesquieu.it","volume":"24 1","pages":"145"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78236609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To understand the work of Montesquieu, therefore it seems necessary not to separate these two areas. So the thought of Montesquieu appears, as a great attempt to reconcile moral and politics. No doubt the concept of law that he has reveals a similar desire: the law, for him, not only has a role in social and political life, is not only an expression of purpose, values and particular traditions, but also a moral content universally valid. Here we relied on the following books: De l’Esprit des lois by Montesquieu, l’Essai sur les causes qui peuvent affecter les esprits et les caracteres by Montesquieu, Introduzione a Montesquieu by D. Felice, and Lo spirito della politica, edited by D.

Anders totalitarianism arises from the age of technology: political totalitarianism, though terrible, is only an effect of the technological one. The terrorism of technology world is not represented by the violence but rather by the entertainment. The frightening aspect of the entertainment is represented by its harmless seductive and disarming lacking, by its lack of seriousness which captures us unprepared and defenseless. The human being in front of the new media becomes a “mass hermit”, a passive world consumer, pleasantly deprived of his freedom of choice. Fully involved in a conformist society, the individual is robbed of the awareness of his condition of non freedom. In that social environment totalitarianism evolves, becomes soft and leads to an absolutely superior capacity of control compared to that achieved by the classical totalitarianism since it isn’t personified by a political institutional actor any longer, it does not use the terror but the lure, making individuals prey to their illusory false consciousness of freedom.","PeriodicalId":36096,"journal":{"name":"Montesquieu.it","volume":"s3-15 1","pages":"159-159"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90808179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Obviously, its main contribution is on politics. However, contemporary republican theory actually fails to redeem an autonomous conception of politics.

In this way, all the epistemic and normative potential of the idea of contestation is attenuated, up to a point where this idea does not add a particular value to republicanism. Astonishingly, there is no discussion of constituent power; but if republican political theory wants to remain true to its own aspirations, it has take into account the reflexive dimension of politics.","PeriodicalId":36096,"journal":{"name":"Montesquieu.it","volume":"31 2 1","pages":"211-211"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74925949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Charles-Louis de Secondat, barone di La Brede e di Montesquieu, era infatti nato nel suo castello nei pressi di Bordeaux in Francia nel 1689, e aveva cominciato subito a impadronirsi della vasta cultura classica e moderna che era allora patrimonio delle elites politiche e intellettuali del continente europeo. Se Montesquieu ha sicuramente un posto definito nella storia del pensiero politico, non si puo dire altrettanto per quel che concerne la storia del liberalismo. A parte qualche tributo formale alla sua teoria della separazione dei poteri, che e poi l’architrave del costituzionalismo liberale, non si puo dire che in genere si sia prestata al suo pensiero l’attenzione dovuta, soprattutto quando si e trattato di ricostruire la genesi ideale e storica del liberalismo. Pochi (o forse quasi nessuno) si sono spinti a considerarlo, come qui tenteremo di fare, un padre della dottrina, al pari di un Locke; o, ancora piu radicalmente, il padre di un modo diverso e altro, piu compiuto, di concepire il liberalismo stesso. Da questa prospettiva, L’esprit des lois e stata la prima opera di riconosciuto spessore a fornire due elementi o nuclei concettuali qualificanti che potremmo individuare con qualche approssimazione nei termini di pluralismo e storicismo. Bisogna poi aggiungere che in Montesquieu si trova una convinta critica liberale della democrazia diretta e di conseguenza, un secolo prima che in Tocqueville, di quello che sara chiamato «dispotismo della maggioranza». E forse una critica che gli deriva dalla naturale indole aristocratica e dalla conseguente diffidenza per le passioni piu estreme del suo tempo, di cui pure fu interprete, ma cio nulla toglie, anzi se possibile la avvalora ancor di piu, alla sua ineludibile centralita e importanza. Ma procediamo per gradi. Sicuramente cio che salta subito all’occhio nell’opera piu importante di Montesquieu e la classificazione dei poteri, o meglio dei tipi di governo. E una suddivisione classica per la teoria politica, ma il Nostro, nel II libro del suo capolavoro, la trasforma e le da un senso nuovo. Rispetto alla tradizionale distinzione basata sul numero o sulla quantita di chi in ultima istanza possiede il potere o la sovranita − distinzione presente gia nella Politica2 di Aristotele − qui se ne propone una tutta affatto qualitativa. La differenza fondamentale fra le forme politiche non e data pertanto fra «democrazia» o governo dei molti ovvero di tutti, «aristocrazia» o governo dei pochi e «monarchia» o governo di uno solo. La vera distinzione e, al contrario, fra la «repubblica» o governo del popolo (di tutto o di una sua parte scelta: democrazia o aristocrazia a seconda dell’uno o dell’altro caso); la «monarchia», in cui «uno solo governa secondo leggi","PeriodicalId":36096,"journal":{"name":"Montesquieu.it","volume":"7 1","pages":"113"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86048939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
