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.
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 评分师兄推荐《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...
评分文/端宏斌 故事要从一则微博说起,著名经济学家华生在几个月前发了一条微博: “去海里见老领导,被推荐读本书,托克维尔的《旧制度与大革命》。他认为中国这样在世界上举足轻重的大国,从历史上看也好,今天的外部环境也好,现代化转型不会那么顺利。中国人自己的代...
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)。
评分比较政治小试水!其中讲革命往往是在当压迫被放松,社会在向更自由的形态中转型的那个理论很有趣。
