Abstract

The Cambridge Companion to Tocqueville contains a set of critical interpretive essays by internationally renowned scholars on the work of Alexis de Tocqueville. The essays cover Tocqueville's major themes (liberty, equality, democracy, despotism, civil society, religion) and texts (Democracy in America, Recollections, Old Regime and the Revolution, other important reports, speeches and letters). The authors analyze both Tocqueville's contributions as a theorist of modern democracy and his craft as a writer. Collections of secondary work on Tocqueville have tended to fall into camps, either bringing together only scholars from one point of view or discipline, or treating only one major text. This Companion transcends national, ideological, disciplinary, and textual boundaries to bring together the best in recent Tocqueville scholarship. The essays not only introduce Tocqueville's major themes and texts, but also put forward provocative arguments that advance the field of Tocqueville studies.

Abstract

Offers an interpretation of the social and political ideas associated with the loosely defined group of theorists and publicists who dominated the intellectual life of France during the later stages of the Revolution and early years of the 19th century, and uses the theory of the Ideologues to illuminate the more general issue of how and why the fusion of utility, liberty, and democracy developed in the language of political theorizing.

Abstract

Die moderne Demokratie wurde zuerst von Alexis de Tocqueville wegweisend und in einer nach wie vor aktuellen, komplexen, aber zu wenig untersuchten »neuen Wissenschaft der Politik« analysiert. Ein internationaler Expertenkreis untersucht in verschiedenen Perspektiven Tocquevilles Konzeption einer »neuen Wissenschaft der Politik« in systematischen und historischen Kontexten. Neben dem breiten Demokratieverständnis, das politische, gesellschaftliche und sittliche Gesichtspunkte verbindet, rückt dabei sein stereoskopischer Blick in den Fokus, der ihn stets Vorteile und Nachteile von Institutionen und Handlungen untersuchen lässt. Gezeigt wird: Tocquevilles Demokratiewissenschaft ist erfahrungswissenschaftliche Aufklärung, die auf Gesellschafts- und Politikberatung zielt. In seinem Werk begründet er die vergleichende Forschung, Institutionenanalyse sowie politische Kulturforschung der Demokratie. Mit Beiträgen von Ewa Atanassow, Juri Auderset, Jean-Luis Benoît, Mathias Bohlender, Hubertus Buchstein, Aurelian Craiutu, Annelien de Dijn, Michael Drolet, Lucien Jaume, Alan Kahan, Françoise Mélonio, Walter Reese-Schäfer, Cheryl Welch und Siegfried Weichlein.
