评分相当精彩。读完全书后的感觉正如同作者所说:历史是一个画廊,里面模仿多,原创少。 此书的分析甚至可以颠履我们对法国大革命的起因。原来大革命并不完全是因为封建压迫过重,反而是放松的缘故。而大革命后的所有制度都不过是过去制度的改头换面,特别是中央集权。当看到书中引...
评分在做外新史的读书笔记,放上来的这部分是末尾的一些笔记之外的想法,靠不靠谱尚不可知,欢迎讨论:) 如下: 在现有的诸多关于对托克维尔之法国大革命观的研究理论中,很少提及政体合法性与革命之间的关系。笔者认为可在此处做深入探究。 复旦大学政治学系教授陈明明曾...

评分一部书可以成为传世名著,其根本原因在于它其中蕴涵着一些同普遍人性相关的东西,可以超越时间地点,乃至民族文化。《旧制度与大革命》,恰恰就是这样一本书。 托克维尔是我非常尊敬的一位作家,他的另一本《论美国的民主》,也令我受益匪浅。贵族出身,又参与法国大革命和美国...

Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) is familiar to readers as the author of Democracy in America, the most-quoted book written about the United States. The Old Regime and the Revolution is Tocqueville's great meditation on the origins and meanings of the French Revolution. One of the most profound and influential studies of this pivotal event, it remains a relevant and stimulating discussion of the problem of preserving individual and political freedom in the modern world. Writing in 1851, Tocqueville showed the continuity of French political behavior and social attitudes before and after the Revolution. He discussed the dangers to political freedom posed by tendencies towards government centralization and persistent class hostility that endured from the old regime to the Revolution and beyond.
Alan Kahan's new translation finally provides a faithful and readable rendering in English of Tocqueville's last masterpiece, surpassing existing English editions of the work which are now decades old. The first translation to be based on the forthcoming French critical edition, it includes notes and variants, which reveal Tocqueville's sources as well as new material from his drafts and revisions. The reader will also find a new introduction and other discussions by France's most eminent scholars on Tocqueville and the French Revolution, Françoise Mélonio and the late François Furet.
A major scholarly event, this handsomely produced book will be the definitive English edition of one of the great books in modern intellectual history.
François Furet (1992-1997) was the leading French historian of the Revolution and, according to the New York Times, "one of the most influential French thinkers of the post-war era." Françoise Mélonio is the editor of Gallimard's critical edition of Tocqueville's complete works.
"Françoise Furet . . . challenged the popular Marxist interpretation of the French Revolution and reshaped French thinking about subsequent events. His lifelong fascination with the French Revolution and his many books on it . . . earned him a special place among historians."-New York Times, 16 July 1997
First published in 1856, Tocqueville's examination of the French Revolution is perhaps a most important contribution to our understaning of this keystone of modern history.
写的不错既有深度也具有可读性
评分当局者迷,旁观者清用来形容托克维尔的两部著作是太合适不过了。
评分Tocqueville在1856年就告訴你追求所謂universal equality=servitude for all以及equality和liberty就像opportunity cost一樣魚和熊掌不可能完全兼得,而民主社會應該是imply了要保證liberty的。革命不代表就一定會帶來民主/平等/自由;理想和現實,啓蒙運動和真正的政治革命是有差距的。他對於法國大革命的分析也非常獨到有趣,邏輯很強大,需要慢慢揣摩。
评分读多少遍也会觉得好看的一本书。托克维尔和英译文笔都十分流畅,托对民主制度的敏锐观察更是振聋发聩。托一方面肯定法革中人民推翻封建制度的成就,一方面提出高涨的民间热情与抽象的哲学概念无法与有益于维护自由的旧制度兼容,于是旧社会的废墟上生出了更为集权的新政府,自由成为了革命的牺牲品。
评分与中文版一起阅读的,很多翻译理解不了,还是看英文版更好吸收消化为己用啊。
