Beskrivning
One of the country's foremost Tocqueville scholars, Roger Boesche has gathered together his writings on Tocqueville from the last quarter century. These essays focus on specific aspects of Tocqueville's political thought: the methodology that Tocqueville brought to his historical and political writings allowing him to predict so well; his assumptions about what constitutes a revolution; his conviction that democracy and commerce at times work against each other; why Tocqueville's thought defies our modern political classifications; his fear of a qualitatively new kind of despotism; and Tocqueville's predictions for the future compared to those of Nietzsche, Arendt, and others. Tocqueville's Road Map is a long overdue addition to Tocqueville scholarship that will find an audience amongst scholars of political thought and history.

Recensioner i media

The outcome of a three-decade intellectual dialogue with Tocqueville, Roger Boesche's new book offers a penetrating and engaging analysis of various aspects of the work and personality of Tocqueville. A pleasure to read, Tocqueville's Road Map offers an excellent opportunity to renew our own dialogue with the ideas of the Frenchman who has become the unsurpassable horizon of our times.
