Event description: 

The International Conference for the Study of Political Thought and the Yale Center for Representative Institutions present a one-day conference:

“Hume and Montesquieu: Methods, Moeurs and Republican Monarchy”.

This conference will bring together scholars of Hume and Montesquieu to discuss points of commonality and divergence across multiple dimensions: questions of method and intellectual approach; issues of marriage and sexual morality, in their relation to law and politics; and both thinkers’ distinctive, ambivalent approach to republican and monarchical traditions of thought, and to the particular question of English politics.
