D’Argenson’s Injunction to the State, Deep or Shallow
SHARE

René-Louis de Voyer, Marquis d’Argenson, a lesser-known figure of the 18th century, has some valuable lessons to teach today’s rulers of both deep and shallow states in various countries. As an early Enlightenment thinker and a close friend of Voltaire, d’Argenson briefly served as a minister under Louis XV. In his memoirs, he shared some profound insights that are still relevant today.

One of d’Argenson’s key messages is about the importance of avoiding envy and hatred towards other nations. He emphasizes the need to focus on self-improvement and cooperation rather than seeking greatness at the expense of others. This principle, according to d’Argenson, not only reflects wickedness and malevolence but also goes against our own self-interest.

The concept of “laissez-faire” is central to d’Argenson’s philosophy. He urges rulers to adopt a hands-off approach and allow for free-market dynamics to guide economic interactions. This idea of non-interference extends beyond economics and can be applied to various aspects of governance and social relations.

While d’Argenson’s language may sound collectivist at times, his ideas resonate with modern political discourse. Today’s leaders and their constituents can learn from his wisdom and strive for a more cooperative and mutually beneficial global community.

D’Argenson’s message is brought to life in a creative depiction by DALL-E, a virtual machine that envisions historical figures. While the representation may contain some inaccuracies, such as anachronistic elements and a youthful portrayal of d’Argenson, it still captures the essence of his ideas.

In conclusion, d’Argenson’s insights from the 18th century continue to hold relevance in today’s world. By embracing principles of cooperation, non-interference, and self-improvement, rulers and citizens alike can work towards a more harmonious and prosperous future. Let us heed d’Argenson’s call for “laissez-faire” and strive for a better world based on mutual respect and collaboration.
