HISTOIRE DE LA SCIENCE POLITIQUE DANS SES RAPPORTS AVEC LA MORALE

---

Still essential book. Exact examination of Bossuet`s politicla theories; comparison between Bossuet and Locke, on theories of government, with Hobbes and Fénelon. Four chapters directly concern 18th century France, though some of book`s most valuable material treats predecessors and contemporaries, in Italy, England, and Germany, of "philosophes", and influence of theses foreign thinkers on latter. Treatment of Montesquieu espacially valuable; one of the best available comparisons of him with Rousseau is found in this book.
