Montesquieu is often considered the first social thinker. Today, when ‘the end of the social’ has been proclaimed, it is time to reconsider its beginnings. In a wide-ranging, original interpretation of The Spirit of the Laws, this book explores what did it mean to ‘discover the social’, and what can it mean to recover the social today?
