Book Description: Tocqueville and the Legal Foundations of Democracy Giulia Oskian 2014 Genre: Non-Fiction, Political Science, Philosophy Synopsis: In this thought-provoking book, [Your Name] delves into the philosophical and legal foundations of democracy as laid out by Alexis de Tocqueville, a French political thinker and historian who wrote "Democracy in America" in the 19th century. The author challenges the common notion that Tocqueville's ideas are obsolete and instead, argues that his principles are still relevant today, particularly in the context of modern technology and its impact on society. The book begins by examining the criticisms leveled against democracy, both then and now, and how they resonate with the critiques of the Restoration culture. The author then explores the concept of popular sovereignty and its implications for contemporary democracy, highlighting the need for a personal paradigm to understand the technological process of developing modern knowledge. This paradigm is essential for the survival of humanity and the unity of people in a warring state.
