Henri See's book is still an unsurpassed survey of French political thought in the 17th century. From Montchretien's treatise on political economy, he examines the political philosophy of Richelieu, and the political ideas of Louis XIV. His chapter on Bossuet puts the great theologian's political philosophy into the European context, with Grotius, Hobbes and Spinoza. The second part of the volume sketches the reaction against absolutism and discusses the political ideas from Fenelon to Pierre Bayle. French Text
