Biographical note
Alan Ryan, after decades at Princeton University, was warden of New College, University of Oxford, where he was a professor of political theory. He is the author of John Dewey and the High Tide of American Liberalism and Bertrand Russell: A Political Life, among other works."Ryan's excellent introduction makes Tocqueville's observations and anxieties vitally relevant for 21st-century readers."
In On Tocqueville, Alan Ryan brilliantly illuminates the observations of the French philosopher who first journeyed to the United States in 1831 and went on to catalogue the unique features of the American social contract. Tocqueville’s prescient analyses of American life remain as relevant today as when they were first written. On Tocqueville features a chronology, biography and excerpts from Tocqueville’s major works.
Les mer
Tocqueville's gifts as an observer and commentator on American life and democracy are brought to vivid life in this splendid volume.
