The Spirit of Laws is one of the most influential books of all time. This masterpiece of political philosophy was widely read throughout Europe, attracted an especially enthusiastic readership in England, and had a profound effect on the framers of the American Constitution. Montesquieu (1689-1755), already famous and controversial through his Persian Letters, a work of his youth in which he humorously satirized the foibles of French society, turned in his later years to this serious treatise on the nature of law. But though the subject itself was profound, this gravitas did not inhibit the famous Montesquieu wit. Master of the pithy bon mot, he managed to survey a great deal of political and philosophical territory while keeping his readers charmed with memorable and artfully turned phrases. "Liberty," he says, "consists in the ability to do what one ought to desire and in not being forced to do what one ought not to desire." Concerning the unpopularity of the English in France, he says it is due to their arrogance, which is such that even in peace "they seem to negotiate with none but enemies."

The scope of this masterful work is truly prodigious. Montesquieu explores the essentials of good government; compares and contrasts despotism, monarchy, and democracy; and discusses the factors that lead to corruption of governments. Among the many other topics considered are education of the citizenry, crime and punishment, abuse of power and of liberty, individual rights, taxation, slavery, the role of women, the influence of climate on the temper of a people and their form of government, commerce, religion, and a host of additional subjects.

The Spirit of Laws is essential and genuinely enjoyable reading for anyone interested in the development of democracy.

读后感

论法的精神，这本书大概770页，我看了大概二十个小时，这本书是孟德斯鸠的代表作。 个人推荐指数四星，因为这本书影响太大了，原本想给五星，但这本书太难啃了，读起来相当艰辛，外加上这是我读的第一本法律书籍，给我带来了些许困难。 本书大体从分析了共和国和君主专制国不...

【以下段落出自孟德斯鸠《论法的精神》（上卷），许明龙译，商务印书馆2012年版，第101-104页。】 《论法的精神》中若干重要术语，不但在中文中已有定译，而且由来已久，早已为学界和广大读者所接受，广泛应用于学术乃至日常生活中。但是，译者觉得既有译文并非十全十美，是否...  

全书共三十一章，六百零五节，内容涉猎深广，包括法与各类政体原则与性质的关系，法与国家自然状态的关系（如气候性质、土壤性质、民族的普遍精神、习俗和风尚等），法与居民的宗教、性癖、财富、货币、人口、贸易、风俗、习惯的关系，还论述了各个国家的法理与...  

这种书只能写感想，我还没有资格写评论，想当年考法理叫我们论法律的自由的关系，我就在那胡编乱造了7、8百字，现在想起来我当时写的什么啊？那个不是评论吧，就是把书上所有有关自由的东西往上面扯就是了，所以我这种凡夫俗子只能看看别人的东西，然后发发感慨就好了。 看...
