Tocqueville in our time.1 a"Welch argues that Tocqueville's major themes tap into deep anxieties about democratic practices and that his writings help us to identify some of the major fault lines in democracy at the turn of the new century. Beginning with consideration of Tocqueville's distinctiveness against the historical background and intellectual context of his time, Welch goes on to trace the development of his thought on democracy and revolution, freedom and history, slavery, religion, and gender, including chapters dealing with his major writings on the United States and France. The final chapter then explores Tocqueville's historical legacy and his contemporary significance, illuminating the reasons why this displaced nineteenth-century aristocrat has become one of the most topical and debated figures in contemporary political and social theory."--BOOK JACKET.10aTocqueville, Alexis de,d1805-1859.17aPolitieke filosofie.2gtt  2ddccBK  c203041d203041  00102ddc406301_092000000000000_WED718NFIC9341201aDULbDULcAACd2017-05-24eGifto301.092 WEDp446348r2017-05-24w2017-05-24yBK
