Tocquevillian Ideas : Contemporary European Perspectives Hardback
Edited by Zbigniew Rau, Marek Tracz-Tryniecki
Hardback
Description
This book offers a new, European-centered approach to Tocqueville's thought.
Although Tocqueville is often revered as a classic writer on the subject of American democracy, this book focuses on the multifaceted importance of his ideas within a European context.
This collection of essays presents Tocqueville's vision of a diverse and united Old Continent, exploring his ideas of liberty, virtue, religion, patriotism, greatness, civic participation and democracy.
These thoughts are analyzed not only in the context of Tocqueville's output, but also in the light of their potential to describe the dilemmas of contemporary Europe and to offer remedies for its problems.
