书名：Democracy in America 论美国的民主/民主在美国作者：Alexis de Tocqueville阿历克西·德·托克维尔出版社名称：Bantam Classics 出版时间：2000 语种：英文 ISBN：9780553214642 商品尺寸：10.7 x 3.6 x 17.8 cm 包装：简装页数：944（以实物为准） Democracy in America《论美国的民主》是法国著名政论思想家托克维尔的代表作。在书中，托克维尔以他游历美国的经验，从古典自由主义的思想传统出发，探索美国的民主制度及其根源，这本书成为社会学的早期重要著作之一。推荐理由： 1. 十九世纪睿智大思想，了解美国民主必读书； 2. 世界学术界第1部对美国社会、政治体制和民情进行社会学研究的著作； 3. 首部论述民主制度的专著，著名社会学著作之一； From America’s call for a free press to its embrace of the capitalist system,Democracy in America—first published in 1835—enlightens, entertains, and endures as a brilliant study of our national government and character. Philosopher John Stuart Mill called it “among the most remarkable productions of our time.” Woodrow Wilson wrote that de Tocqueville’s ability to illuminate the actual workings of American democracy was “possibly without rival.” For today’s readers, de Tocqueville’s concern about the effect of majority rule on the rights of individuals remains deeply meaningful. His shrewd observations about the “almost royal prerogatives” of the president and the need for virtue in elected officials are particularly prophetic. His profound insights into the great rewards and responsibilities of democratic government are words every American needs to read, contemplate, and remember.

Democracy in America《论美国的民主》是法国政治学家、社会学家托克维尔亲自在美国进行长期考察后写出的一部举世公认的世界名著。本书上卷包括美国的地理环境、种族状况、英裔移民带到北美的影响、美国联邦制的优点与其他国家联邦制的比较、联邦政府与各州政府的关系、政党产生的原因、政治社团的作用、舆论的作用等方面；中心思想是阐明美国的民主、自由、平等是如何在政治生活和社会生活中体现的。下卷是以美国的民主思想和美国的民情为背景分析了美国人的哲学观念、宗教思想、科学理论、文学、艺术、社会心理、民族性格等等方面。同时，与英法等国为代表的西欧国家的类似问题作了对比。阿历克西·德·托克维尔，19世纪法国政治理论家、历史学家、政治家。托克维尔于19世纪法国大革命的血色黄昏中，深入考察了“自由平等”“尊重权力”“尊崇法制”“主权分享”“均势制衡”等原则对美国政治制度与民情的影响。托克维尔在西方被尊为社会改革先知，他的学说对民主思潮有着深远的影响。其代表作有：《论美国的民主》《旧制度与大革命》。 Alexis Charles Henri Clérel, Viscount de Tocqueville (29 July 1805- 16 April 1859) was a French diplomat, political scientist, and historian. He was best known for his worksDemocracy in America (appearing in two volumes: 1835 and 1840) andThe Old Regime and the Revolution (1856). In both he analyzed the improved living standards and social conditions of individuals, as well as their relationship to the market and state in Western societies.Democracy in America was published after Tocqueville’s travels in the United States and is today considered an early work of sociology and political science. CHAPTER III: SOCIAL CONDITION OF THE ANGLO-AMERICANS A social condition is commonly the result of circumstances, sometimes of laws, oftener still of these two causes united; but wherever it exists, it may justly be considered as the source of almost all the laws, the usages, and the ideas which regulate the conduct of nations; whatever it does not produce it modifies. It is therefore necessary, if we would become acquainted with the legislation and the manners of a nation, to begin by the study of its social condition. THE STRIKING CHARACTERISTIC OF THE SOCIAL CONDITION OF THE ANGLO-AMERICANS IN ITS ESSENTIAL DEMOCRACY The first emigrants of New England—Their equality—Aristocratic laws introduced in the South—Period of the Revolution—Change in the law of descent—Effects produced by this change—Democracy carried to its utmost limits in the new States of the West—Equality of education. Many important observations suggest themselves upon the social condition of the Anglo-Americans, but there is one which takes precedence of all the rest. The social condition of the Americans is eminently democratic; this was its character at the foundation of the Colonies, and is still more strongly marked at the present day. I have stated in the preceding chapter that great equality existed among the emigrants who settled on the shores of New England. The germ of aristocracy was never planted in that part of the Union. The only influence which obtained there was that of intellect; the people were used to reverence certain names as the emblems of knowledge and virtue. Some of their fellow-citizens acquired a power over the rest which might truly have been called aristocratic, if it had been capable of transmission from father to son. This was the state of things to the east of the Hudson: to the south-west of that river, and in the direction of the Floridas, the case was different. In most of the States situated to the south-west of the Hudson some great English proprietors had settled, who had imported with them aristocratic principles and the English law of descent. I have explained the reasons why it was impossible ever to establish a powerful aristocracy in America; these reasons existed with less force to the southwest of the Hudson. In the South, one man, aided by slaves, could cultivate a great extent of country: it was therefore common to see rich landed proprietors. But their influence was not altogether aristocratic as that term is understood in Europe, since they possessed no privileges; and the cultivation of their estates being carried on by slaves, they had no tenants depending on them, and consequently no patronage. Still, the great proprietors south of the Hudson constituted a superior class, having ideas and tastes of its own, and forming the centre of political action. This kind of aristocracy sympathized with the body of the people, whose passions and interests it easily embraced; but it was too weak and too short-lived to excite either love or hatred for itself. This was the class which headed the insurrection in the South, and furnished the best leaders of the American revolution. 1234567
