«Dialogue aux enfers entre Machiavel et Montesquieu» is the philosophical and political dialogue by Maurice Joly, published by Editions Allia in paperback.
In hell, Machiavelli defends a cynical doctrine: control the press, sow discord, and concentrate the state to dominate society. Montesquieu replies that law rests on morality and that uniting all powers in one hand leads to tyranny. The dialogue, written in 1864, denounces the authoritarian drift of Napoleon III.
The work was originally published in 1864; this 1998 edition has 329 pages and is in French.
Work for readers of political philosophy, nineteenth-century French literature, and criticism of despotism.
Maurice Joly was a French political writer and lawyer known for The Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu, a political satire of Napoleon III.
