About this Item

1961. xii, 214pp. "(Dr. Stark) shows, by a thorough scrutiny of all the extant literature, that Montesquieu was anxious to provide an explanation of the origin of ideas as well as an explanation of the origin of institutions, and that only both together constitute the corpus of his doctrine. The investigation breaks new ground . but it is alsomeant to lead to further parallel studies of other authors and ultimately to a comprehensive picture of the whole history of the 'sociology of knowledge'."
