Abstract
Abstract Herold’s rich treatment of Tocqueville reminds us of the powerful and indelible spiritual longings of the human soul, and the need for a statesmanship akin to Tocqueville’s own that understands both the nature of the soul and the character of the regime. In short, Herold’s Tocqueville helps us moderate our hopes for American liberal democracy without despairing that nothing can be done.
期刊介绍：
Whether discussing Montaigne"s case for tolerance or Nietzsche"s political critique of modern science, Perspectives on Political Science links contemporary politics and culture to the enduring questions posed by great thinkers from antiquity to the present. Ideas are the lifeblood of the journal, which comprises articles, symposia, and book reviews. Recent articles address the writings of Aristotle, Adam Smith, and Plutarch; the movies No Country for Old Men and 3:10 to Yuma; and the role of humility in modern political thought.
