520	3		_aAccording to most scholars, Montesquieu argues that fear threatens a loss of self. Diconnected from the exercise of reason, fear is an emotion that is supposed to prevent the individual from acting with any kind of moral or rational agency. Fear is also premised on the liquidation of civil society; intermediate institutions and plural social structures are destroyed so that despots can act with unmitigated power and violence. I argue that this view does not capture Montesquieu`s theory. In my alternatve account,fear is intimately connected to our capacity for reason and to our sense of self. It is built on a network of elites, the rule of law, moreal education, and the tratidional institutions of civil society. I conclude that twentieth-century social science remains too indebtd to concentional interpretations of Montesquieu`s views, and contemporary theorists would be better served by the alternative analysis proposed here
