With his monumental work "The Old Regime and the Revolution", Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) - best known for his classic "Democracy in America" - envisioned a multivolume philosophic study of the origins of modern France that would examine the implications of French history on the nature and development of democratic society. Volume 1, which covered the 18th-century background to the Revolution, was published to great acclaim in 1856. On the continuation of this project, he wrote: "When this Revolution has finished its work, [this volume] will show what that work really was, and what the new society which has come from that violent labour is, what the Revolution has taken away and what it has preserved from that old regime against which it was directed". Tocqueville died in the midst of this work. Here in Volume 2 -in clear, up-to-date English - is all that he had completed, including the chapters he started for a work on Napoleon, notes and analyses he made in the course of researching and writing the first volume, and his notes on his preparation for his continuation. Based on the new French edition of "The Old Regime", most of the translated texts have never before appeared in English, and many of those that have appeared were considerably altered. More than ever before, readers will be able to see how Tocqueville's account of the Revolution would have come out, had he lived to finish it. This volume completes the set and is useful reading for anyone interested in the French revolution or in Tocqueville's thought.

評分 評分師兄推薦《舊製度與大革命》這本小書,開學這兩周斷斷續續翻瞭一遍。熱讀熱議的浮誇著的喧嘩並不能給作品帶來經典的光環,曆史與現實輪迴般的相似也不能說明它的偉大,隻是當那以往世代幽微的燭火或多或少照亮瞭今日眼前的混沌時,摺服而擊節贊嘆便很自然瞭。 推薦這本書時,人...
評分 評分《舊製度與大革命》讀書筆記 同時下的一些解讀相反,這本書大概並不是一本要“告彆革命”的保守主義著作,在前言中,有這麼一個鏗鏘有力的句子:“這是青春、熱情、自豪、慷慨、真誠的時代,盡管它有各種錯誤,人們將韆鞦萬代紀念它,而且在長時期內,它還將使所有想腐蝕或奴...
