If you thought you knew everything about Montesquieu’s life and work it was without counting the last work of Catherine Volpilhac-Auger, professor at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Lyon, president of the Société Montesquieu and administrator of The Jacqueline de Chabannes Foundation.

Based on her latest research, she gives us a new biography that updates the knowledge of this philosopher, forerunner of the Enlightenment and modern politics.
