This is how Montesquieu concludes that men living in a colder climate are more vigorous, because the heart’s action and fibres’ reaction are better, and the blood travels faster towards the heart, giving the body more strength. Of course, this physical superiority also means men are braver, have a sense of superiority, a smaller desire for revenge, and are more honest, cleverer and less suspicious towards others.
Montesquieu also states that if you place a man in a warm environment, he will be weakened, and that if you present him with a task, he’ll have no energy to fulfil it. Moreover, his weakness will discourage him, making him afraid of his own inability to act. This is why people in warmer countries are, just like old persons, more prone to being afraid, while northerners are, like young people, braver.
