Place and Time Immutability 7.
Montesquieu From p.
(a) Montesquieu who has shewn in so convincing
a manner how rare it is for any
large portion of law that is suited to the
circumstances of one age or country to be exactly
suitable to those of another age or country ,
Montesquieu himself appears not to have been
altogether exempt from thise illusion of these
notions , notwithstanding the discoveri'esy he has
made makes of the falcity of them when he comes
to consider the matter in the detail . Not content
with an eternity a parte post , as the logicians
phrase it , he is for giving to his laws of nature an eternity a parte ante . In his opening
chapter which from the beginning to the
end is utter darkness , there were laws , he
says for men , before there were such a
creature as man existing : do you doubt of this, ?
that you may doubt no longer , know then, that
the radii of a circle were all equal before
there was such a thing in nature as a circle .
