Summary

"The nineteenth-century French statesman and political thinker Alexis de Tocqueville described himself as a 'liberal of a new kind'. This book is a contribution to a better understanding of liberalism and of the distinctive character of Tocqueville's liberalism in particular." "The main focus of the book is the nature of Tocqueville's liberalism. The author argues that Tocqueville seeks to reconcile the Christian and the citizen in the context of modernity and explores the question of how Tocqueville's work synthesizes religion and politics. An overall picture of Tocqueville's idea of civilization is also presented." "Tocqueville's Moral and Political Thought will be essential reading for advanced students and academics of political theory, philosophy and those interested in liberalism and the work of Alexis de Tocqueville."--BOOK JACKET
