Publisher's Synopsis
This volume presents the last major text on political theory published by Constant during his lifetime, the Commentaire sur l'ouvrage de Filangieri (1822-1824). It comprises the critical text of the original edition with manuscript variants, commentaries informing about the context of Constant's work as well as a number of additional documents. With this volume, the Œuvres complètes thus present the entire body of Constant's political writings that remain inspiring and relevant even today.
