Democracy studied on the ground; civic habits, equality, religion, and risk seen with clarity.
1805 – 1859 · France | 1 book | Popular now: Democracy in America
Alexis Henri Charles de Clérel, better known as Alexis de Tocqueville, was a French politician, jurist, thinker and historian.
From a family with a background in high political positions, he was one of the promoters of liberalism and one of the precursors of classical sociology.
Alexis de Tocqueville watches how customs shape freedom. Town halls, juries, and associations show why equality energizes and endangers at once. The tone is fair and curious. Read him to improve debates on liberty, majority power, and community, and to trade slogans for observation you can test.
