Description
Tocqueville's Voyages is a collection of new essays by some of today's best-known Tocqueville scholars. The book's title adduces two senses of Tocqueville's famous voyage to America. The essays in Part One explore the development of Tocqueville's thought, his intellectual voyage, during his trip to America and while he was writing Democracy in America. The second part of the book focuses on the dissemination of Tocqueville's ideas beyond to Franco-American context of his time, to places such as Argentina, Japan, and Eastern Europe. Whether read entirely on its own or with reference to the Liberty Fund edition of Tocqueville's Democracy in America, this book gives readers unprecedented access to the development of Tocqueville's thought as seen through the eyes of some of today's preeminent Tocqueville scholars. The essays shed fresh light on the ideas in Democracy in America, and they also invite readers to reassess previous interpretations of Tocqueville's great work and to consider its continued relevance to the world today. -- from back cover.
