Publisher Summary 1
The aristocratic French chronicler of American democracy, Alexis de Tocqueville, was a critical admirer of the experiment and is it in the same spirit that the American contributors to this collection of political philosophy approach concerns about the principles and practices of democracy. Thirteen essays, presented by Lawler (government, Berry College), frequently use the observations of de Tocqueville as a jumping off point for their reflections on such topics as religion and materialism, the moral foundations of democracy, citizenship as vocation, and other matters.
