The work examines the complex relationship between human passions, and their effects on individual and collective happiness, particularly in the political sphere. The author reflects on the societal and individual challenges posed by passions and aims to offer insights on achieving a state of happiness amid political turmoil. The opening of the work introduces Staël's exploration of how human passions, which can easily become overpowering, hinder both personal and political happiness. Staël contextualizes her reflections within the tumultuous backdrop of the French Revolution, indicating that the pursuit of happiness requires a careful analysis of human emotions and their influence on governance. In this initial portion, she outlines the scope of her inquiry into the nature of happiness itself while emphasizing the necessity of understanding and perhaps controlling one's passions to attain both individual and societal well-being.
