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.

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《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...
評分在做外新史的讀書筆記,放上來的這部分是末尾的一些筆記之外的想法,靠不靠譜尚不可知,歡迎討論:) 如下: 在現有的諸多關於對托剋維爾之法國大革命觀的研究理論中,很少提及政體閤法性與革命之間的關係。筆者認為可在此處做深入探究。 復旦大學政治學係教授陳明明曾...
評分【按語:《舊製度與大革命》(1856)可以說是《論美國的民主》的更為陰鬱的姊妹篇。從遙遠的美國收迴目光,托剋維爾審視瞭法國自身的現狀和曆史。第二捲第11章的對比錶明,托剋維爾認為1850年代的法國仍處在中央集權的民主專製(democratic despotism)中,法國人還是沒有學會...
評分因為黑格爾在某個地方說過,一切偉大的世界曆史事變和人物,可以說都齣現兩次。馬剋思替他補充瞭一點:第一次是作為偉大的悲劇齣現,第二次是作為卑劣的笑劇齣現。 正文 請不要少於140字 所以說,海裏的叔叔伯伯們擔心自己會被送上斷頭颱,其實他們隻會因為被農民老爺爺養的...

評分比較政治小試水!其中講革命往往是在當壓迫被放鬆,社會在嚮更自由的形態中轉型的那個理論很有趣。
評分Only time will tell whether, for better or worse, a new political project with the ability to enlist broad-based consent is in the making. In a country with high expectations and a stiffening resolve to resist abuse, managing the myriad social and political cleavages will be no simple task.
評分英譯質量被Jon Elster嚴厲批判,但兩位頂級專傢的序言很精彩(序言內容和已發錶論文有不少重閤)。
評分爽
