Montesquieu a fost magistrat.<br /> <br /> Fiind un clasic recunoscut al literaturii universale, nimeni nu-i pune la &#238;ndoial&#259; calit&#259;&#355;ile &#351;i se mul&#355;ume&#351;te cu ceea ce se spune. La o analiz&#259; mai atent&#259; &#238;ns&#259;, apare un paradox. Din punct de vedere strict literar, lucrarea sa de c&#259;p&#259;t&#226;i, &#8222;Scrisorile persane&#8221;, nu este nici pe departe o capodopera. Nu este un monument al literaturii, &#238;n m&#259;sur&#259; s&#259; justifice prezen&#355;a autorului pe lista mon&#351;trilor sacri. Montesquieu &#238;nsu&#351;i ar fi fost profund nemul&#355;umit dac&#259; toat&#259; activitatea lui s-ar rezuma la aceast&#259; carte de pu&#355;in peste 200 de pagini.<br /> <br /> El era &#238;ns&#259; pasionat de filosofie, adept al lui Hobbs &#351;i Lock, &#351;i &#238;&#351;i propusese s&#259; aplice ideile lor &#238;n societatea timpului s&#259;u, ceea ce a f&#259;cut &#238;n &#8222;Spiritul legilor&#8221;. Implicarea lui &#238;n literatur&#259; se &#238;nscrie &#238;n efortul de a transmite aceste idei unor cercuri c&#226;t mai largi de oameni.<br /> <br /> &#8222;Scrisorile&#8221; sunt mici eseuri &#351;i doar titlurile dau aparen&#355;a unei coresponden&#355;e. F&#259;r&#259; ele, Montesquieu ar fi r&#259;mas un magistrat-filosof necunoscut lumii literare. &#206;n schimb, numai cu &#8222;Scrisorile persane&#8221; nu ar fi intrat nici m&#259;car &#238;n literatur&#259;.<br /> <br /> Personalitatea lui complex&#259; l-a plasat &#238;n ierarhia marilor oameni, pentru c&#259;  &#238;n ultim&#259; instan&#355;&#259;  un scriitor este cineva care are ceva de spus, deci unul care comunic&#259; cu lumea. Fie el &#351;i magistrat.<br /> </td><td align= justify width=50%><br /><br /><br /><br /><b> The writer Montesquieu </b><br /><br /> If a graduated from a secondary school were asked what he knows about Montesquieu, he probably will answer something like: French writer, 18 century,  Persian Letters&#8221;. If he has a good memory, maybe he will mention  The Spirit of Laws&#8221;, about which he will not be able to say much, because he did not read it. It is a book for specialists. Montesquieu was a magistrate.<br /> <br /> As a recognised classic of universal literature, nobody impugns his qualities and is contented with what people say about. Still, at a more attentive analyze, a paradox appears. From the literary point of view,  Persian Letters&#8221; is far from a masterpiece. It is not a monument of the literature able to justify the presence of the author on the list of great celebrities. Montesquieu himself would have been very malcontent if all his activity had been limited at this book of about 200 pages.<br /> <br /> He was passionately fond of philosophy, disciple of Hobbs and Lock, and proposed himself to apply their ideas in the society of his time, which he did in  The Spirit of Laws&#8221;. His implication in literature comes from his efforts for convey these ideas toward groups of people as large as possible.<br /> <br />  Letters&#8221; are small essays and only the titles give the impression of a correspondence. Without them, Montesquieu would remain a magistrate-philosopher unknown by literary world. Instead, only with  Persian Letters&#8221; he would entered not even in literature.<br /> <br /> His complex personality make from him a celebrity, because  in the last analysis  a writer is someone having something to say, namely someone who want to communicate with people, let he be an magistrate.<br /> </td></tr><tr> <td align= center width=50%><br /><br /><br /><br /><b> Filo-sofia </b><br /><br /> C&#259; filosofia nu ne folose&#351;te este indubitabil.<br /> Problema e c&#259;, f&#259;r&#259; ea, nu putem tr&#259;i. <br /> <br /> Asta nu &#238;nseamn&#259;<br /> c&#259; suntem cu to&#355;ii ni&#351;te &#238;n&#355;elep&#355;i.<br /> Nu, nu.
