Product Information

Alexis de Tocqueville may be the most influential political thinker in American history. He also led an ambitious and active career in French politics. In this magisterial book, one of America's most important political theorists draws on decades of thought to present the first work that fully connects Tocqueville's political and theoretical lives. In doing so, Sheldon Wolin presents sweeping new interpretations of Tocqueville's major works, of his place in intellectual history, and of the trajectory of Western political life over the past two hundred years.

Reviews
Wolin offers a Tocqueville who is extraordinarily complex, deeply conflicted and by no means the uncritical booster of democratic possibility he is sometimes made out to be. . . .Tocqueville Between Two Worldsis as much an intellectual biography as it is a work of more abstract political thought. In Wolin's hands an appreciation of the power of Tocqueville's contributions to Western political thought is enhanced by pegging his work to his often fretful life story. -- Jean Bethke Elshtain, Washington Post Book World, "The strength of Mr. Wolin's monograph lies in his patient, close readings of Tocqueville's major woks. . . . Wolin sets Tocqueville in a wider intellectual context by relating his thought to the philosophy of Hobbes, Locke, Marx, Nieztsche, among others. . . . He is especially concerned to argue . . . that the participatory democracy Tocqueville celebrated has become, in our postmodern times, economic despotism, or that it threatens to do so." --Thomas Pavel, Wall Street Journal, [Wolin seeks to] demonstrate that what [Tocqueville] produced was a 'coherent theoretical and political project'--and one still relevant not just to American political debate, but to our understanding of democratic systems on both sides of the Atlantic.... Wolin here develops [this view] with enormous intellectual energy and flair through several hundred pages of a book which is clearly intended to be definitive., " Tocqueville Between Two Worlds . . . is always interesting and sometimes fascinating."-- Alan Ryan, The New York Review of Books, "Wolin offers a Tocqueville who is extraordinarily complex, deeply conflicted and by no means the uncritical booster of democratic possibility he is sometimes made out to be. . . .

For Wolin, Tocqueville puts his finger on the central conflict in American life, which is between the forms of democracy and real politics., "Wolin here develops [Toqueville's philosophy] with enormous intellectual energy and flair through several hundred pages of a book which is clearly intended to be definitive."-- Biancamaria Fontana, Times Literary Supplement, Tocqueville Between Two Worlds. . . is always interesting and sometimes fascinating. -- Alan Ryan, The New York Review of Books, Sheldon S.
