| Summary | "Collection complète des oeuvres de l'Abbé de Mably, Volume 1" by Mably is a historical and philosophical work written in the late 18th century. The text compiles the writings of Mably, focusing particularly on observations regarding the history of France and the principles of governance, morality, and public happiness. It aims to convey the critical relationship between laws, ethics, and the welfare of society, addressing the importance of virtuous leadership for the prosperity of nations. The opening of this volume establishes Mably's intention to provide a comprehensive examination of historical governance through the lens of morality and political philosophy. It emphasizes the vital connection between good governance and the moral fiber of the populace, arguing that the happiness of a society hinges on just laws and virtuous leaders. The beginning also discusses Mably's reflections on historical figures, such as the legislators of ancient Greece and Rome, asserting that the decline of their societies correlates with the fall of their morals and the rise of corruption. Through these observations, Mably sets the stage for a detailed exploration of political principles essential for achieving and maintaining societal well-being.
