The Temple Of Gnide - Montesquieu (Translated by Will Johncock)
AVAILABLE SOON
A new translation from the French of Montesquieu’s Le Temple de Gnide (1725). This work explores the sexual impulse as an individual psychological function, and the management of that impulse as a social function. Montesquieu’s intention is not only to explore the sexual impulse however, but rather to generally consider how symbols and stories are constructed.
A French intellectual, political philosopher, and judge, Montesquieu’s enduring legacies relate to his interest in how governments might be protected from corruption. This manifests in his theories on the separation of powers, a topic that prominently features in his work The Spirit of the Laws (De L’esprit des Lois) (1748).
