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.
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...
評分这本《旧制度与大革命》是本老书,只不过是最新出版的。旧制度与大革命》是法国历史学家托克维尔的著作,探讨的是法国大革命,原有的封建制度由于腐败和不得人心而崩溃,但社会动荡却并未带来革命党预期的结果,无论是统治者还是民众,最后都被相互间的怒火所吞噬。原著出版于1...
評分相当精彩。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。
