A powerful new translation of de Tocqueville’s influential look at the origins of modern France
In this penetrating study, Alexis de Tocqueville considers the French Revolution in the context of France’s history. de Tocqueville worried that although the revolutionary spirit was still alive and well, liberty was no longer its primary objective. Just as the first Republic had fallen to Napoleon and the second had succumbed to his nephew Napoleon III, he feared that all future revolutions might experience the same fate, forever imperiling the development of democracy in France.
Alexis de Tocqueville was born in 1805 to a noble French family that had survived the French Revolution. His father gained some political power under the reign of the Bourbons, and after the July Revolution of 1830, the family was exiled along with the king. Tocqueville, then twenty-five years old, stayed in France, swearing allegiance to the new government. Shortly thereafter he and a friend, Gustave de Beaumont, sought and received a government assignment to study the prison system of the United States. They arrived in America in 1831. After extensive travels across the young nation, Tocqueville wrote Democracy in America (published in two volumes in 1835 and 1840). The publication of the first volume made Tocqueville a well-known figure, but he led a quiet life, accepting modest governmental posts, traveling around Europe, and marrying an Englishwoman. In 1848, Tocqueville once again rose to political prominence after a prescient speech that foretold of revolution. After serving through the massive upheavals and overthrows of government, Tocqueville retired from political life in 1849. Always weak in health, his lung disease grew progressively worse from that period on. Moving south several times on doctor’s recommendations, Tocqueville succumbed to death in 1859, in Cannes.
“不含偏見,飽含深情”,托剋維爾果然說到做到。文風洗煉,完全不同於有些嘮嘮叨叨、味同嚼蠟的文字。第三編第一章,論及文人的浪漫情懷對於法國大革命的推動,堪稱經典。

托克维尔在《旧制度与大革命》写道,在18世纪中叶,由于社会根本没有政治自由,文人不仅对政界知之甚少,而且视而不见。他们在政界无所作为,甚至也看不到他人的所作所为。 接着他比较了英法两国的政治传统:在英国,研究治国之道的文人和统治国家的人是混合在一起的,一些人...

評分【按语:《旧制度与大革命》(1856)可以说是《论美国的民主》的更为阴郁的姊妹篇。从遥远的美国收回目光,托克维尔审视了法国自身的现状和历史。第二卷第11章的对比表明,托克维尔认为1850年代的法国仍处在中央集权的民主专制(democratic despotism)中,法国人还是没有学会...
