Montesquieu and the discovery of the social
Singer, Brian C. J.,1951-

Montesquieu and the discovery of the social[electronic resource] /Brian Singer. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2013. - 1 online resource.

Introduction -- The Question concerning Laws -- The Nature of the Three Regimes: Political Bonds -- The Spirit of the Three Regimes: Social Bonds -- Particular General Spirits: Exceptions and Contrasts -- Conclusion: Speaking of the Social.

Montesquieu has often been considered the first social theorist. Today, when a number of authors have pronounced 'the end of the social', it is time to reconsider its beginnings. What did it mean to 'discover the social'? What did it allow one to say that could not previously be said? What sorts of epistemological moves were required in order for this discovery to become possible? This book responds to these questions with a wide-ranging, original interpretation of "The Spirit of the Laws". It demonstrates that Montesquieu provides several different senses and usages of the social, each of which builds on the others. The result is a 'divided concept' that challenges later, more simplistic understandings, and allows him to illuminate a number of the fractures central to our modernity. The last chapter brings the discussion forward, and asks what can be retrieved from Montesquieu in order to confront the present crisis of the social and its associated disciplines.
