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.

前言 這篇前言主要說的一個問題,即專製與個人道德,尤其是公共道德的問題。專製推動狹隘的個人主義,使人們彼此隔絕,專製與平等的結閤,將使心靈與精神的普遍水準不斷下降,而隻有自由纔能造就偉大的公民 第一編 第一章 大革命爆發之際,人們對它的評論歧異 大革命爆發之前...
評分一部書可以成為傳世名著,其根本原因在於它其中蘊涵著一些同普遍人性相關的東西,可以超越時間地點,乃至民族文化。《舊製度與大革命》,恰恰就是這樣一本書。 托剋維爾是我非常尊敬的一位作傢,他的另一本《論美國的民主》,也令我受益匪淺。貴族齣身,又參與法國大革命和美國...

評分這本《舊製度與大革命》是本老書,隻不過是最新齣版的。舊製度與大革命》是法國曆史學傢托剋維爾的著作,探討的是法國大革命,原有的封建製度由於腐敗和不得人心而崩潰,但社會動蕩卻並未帶來革命黨預期的結果,無論是統治者還是民眾,最後都被相互間的怒火所吞噬。原著齣版於1...

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。
