| Summary | "Collection complète des oeuvres de l'Abbé de Mably, Volume 2" by Mably is a collection of philosophical and historical works written during the late 18th century. This volume focuses on the author's observations regarding French history, particularly the feudal system, the relationships between lords and vassals, and various sociopolitical structures of the time. The work aims to analyze and critique the principles governing feudalism and its implications on society and governance. The beginning of this volume introduces the complex dynamics of feudal obligations between suzerains and vassals, detailing the lack of uniformity in service and the varying degrees of loyalty that vassals displayed based on their circumstances. Mably examines the legal and moral expectations placed on both parties, highlighting how mutual respect, as well as the threats of betrayal and penalty, were foundational to the feudal order. Through this analysis, the author sets the stage for a critical exploration of the historical inadequacies and irrationalities of the feudal system in France.
