In eighteenth-century France, the notion of moeurs was considered as the rule, based on the establishment of modern society. In his "Virtue, Commerce, History", J.G.A. Pocock said the Century of Enlightenment marked the turning point from civic virtue to a modern sense of ethics. However, in France, that modern sense of ethics developed by commercial society was not always encouraged. Montesquieu, for example, showed an ambivalent attitude and argued that the role of commerce was not only sophisticated but also that it corrupted the moeurs. For Rousseau, the politesse and feminization of moeurs was a source of corruption of civil society. Considering these philosophical backgrounds, the culture of Manners’ book has certain conflicts with the notion of moeurs, a movement that can be explained by the misogyny that developed during the Century of Enlightenment.
