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.
师兄推荐《旧制度与大革命》这本小书,开学这两周断断续续翻了一遍。热读热议的浮夸着的喧哗并不能给作品带来经典的光环,历史与现实轮回般的相似也不能说明它的伟大,只是当那以往世代幽微的烛火或多或少照亮了今日眼前的混沌时,折服而击节赞叹便很自然了。 推荐这本书时,人...
评分 评分去年底,新任中纪委书记王岐山推荐了法国人托克维尔的《旧制度与大革命》一书,一时洛阳纸贵,书店、网上都脱销。我也趁这个机会重新看了一遍这本书。 在此前,托克维尔更加被推崇的是他的另一本代表作《论美国的民主》。该书是对美国立国初期的政治、社会、文化等方方面面的...

评分《旧制度与大革命》读书笔记 同时下的一些解读相反,这本书大概并不是一本要“告别革命”的保守主义著作,在前言中,有这么一个铿锵有力的句子:“这是青春、热情、自豪、慷慨、真诚的时代,尽管它有各种错误,人们将千秋万代纪念它,而且在长时期内,它还将使所有想腐蚀或奴...

评分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.

评分英译质量被Jon Elster严厉批判,但两位顶级专家的序言很精彩(序言内容和已发表论文有不少重合)。
